Procedure

To a solution of 4-(benzoxazol-2-yl)benzyl bromide (0.49 g; 1.7 mmol) in THF (3 ml) is added sodium azide (0.22 g; 3.4 mmol) and dimethylsulfoxide (1 ml). The reaction is stirred for 24 hours and diluted with CH2Cl2, washed with H2O 3x and brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The product is purified by column chromatography using 50% CH2Cl2 /petroleum ether to yield 4-(benzoxazol-2-yl)benzylazide as a white solid which is used directly in Step B.
