Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1S,3S,4S)-3-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-4-(hydroxymethyl)-cyclopentyl methanesulfonate (0.470 g, 0.00145 mol) in N,N-Dimethylformamide (6 mL, 0.08 mol) was added sodium azide (0.4 g, 0.006 mol) 23° C., and the mixture was heated at 55° C. for 3 hours. The reaction was cooled to 23° C., quenched by addition of water and extracted with EtO (3×), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (10 to 25% ethyl acetate/hexane) to obtain 211 mg (53.7%).
