Procedure

To a mixture of 8.34 g (49.8 mmol) of 2-chloro-N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (PREPARATION 4) and 0.75 g (5 mmol) of sodium iodide in 25 ml of DMSO were added 3.56 g (5.47 mmol) of sodium azide. A moderate exotherm ensued. After stirring for 30 min the reaction was partitioned between ethyl ether and saline. The organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was chromatographed on silica gel (700 ml) eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane (5/95), the appropriate fractions are pooled and concentrated to give the title compound, NMR (CDCl3) 4.60, 7.39, 7.56, 7.76 δ.
