Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-azidomethyl-5-fluoro-N,N-dimethyl-benzenesulfonamide (660 mg, 2.6 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) and water (2 mL) was added triphenylphosphine (740 mg, 2.8 mmol), and the mixture stirred under nitrogen for 1 hr. The tetrahydrofuran was evaporated in vacuo and a mixture of the residue and 6N HCl (3 mL) in MeOH (5 mL) was heated at 80° C. for 20 hrs. This was washed with CH2Cl2, and the aqueous phase made basic with dilute NH4OH then extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic extract was dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated to provide 210 mg (0.91 mmol, Yield 35%) of the title compound; 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm: 2.84 (6H, s) 4.10 (2H, s) 7.23-7.29 (1H, m) 7.53-7.60 (2H, m); LC/MS m/z 233 (M+H).
