Reaction Steps

(3-Azido-propyl)-triphenylphosphonium bromide (112, 11.5 g, 27 mmol) was stirred with 100 mL of dry THF at −76° C. LiHMDS (0.5 M in toluene, 27 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. [3-(4-Formyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-1-yloxy)-propyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (111, 6 g, 18 mmol) in 12 mL dry THF solution was introduced. The reaction mixture was stirred at this temperature for another 30 minutes, and slowly warmed to room temperature. The mixture was poured into water and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, concentrated, and purified by flash chromatography (0-25% EtOAc/Hexane) to give 3.5 g 113 {3-[4-(4-azido-but-1-enyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-1-yloxy]-propyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester.
