Sodium Azide → HCID 131716380, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (2S,4S)-2-[(4-methanesulfonyloxypiperizin-1-yl)methyl]-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)-4-(triphenylmethylthio)pyrrolidine (4.38 g) and sodium azide (1.19 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (40 ml) was stirred at 90°-100° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into ice-water (300 ml) and extracted 3 times with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting residue was chromatographed on silica gel (150 g) eluting with a mixture of dichloromethane and acetone (10:1 V/V). The fractions containing the desired compound were collected and evaporated in vacuo to give (2S,4S)-2-[(4-azidopiperizin-1-yl)methyl]-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)-4-(triphenylmethylthio)pyrrolidine (2.51 g).
