Reaction Steps

A mixture of methanesulfonic acid 1-[1-(4-chloro-2-nitro-phenyl)-pyrrolidin-3-yl]-ethyl ester (285.9 mg), toluene-4-sulfonic acid 1-[1-(4-chloro-2-nitro-phenyl)-pyrrolidin-3-yl]-ethyl ester (55.2 mg) and sodium azide (185 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (ca. 5 mL) was heated at 80° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with water and extracted 3 times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (hexane/EtOAc, 90/10) to give 214 mg (76% yield) of 3-(1-azido-ethyl)-1-(4-chloro-2-nitro-phenyl)-pyrrolidine.
