Reaction Steps

DBU (1.0 mL, 6.7 mmol) was added to a solution of (5-chloro-2-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-methanol (1.2 g, 5.3 mmol) and DPPA (1.4 mL, 6.4 mmol) in toluene (30 mL) at room temperature. After 3 h, the reaction was concentrated in vacuo to yield an yellow oil. Silica gel column chromatography using 95:5 hexanes:EtOAc yielded 0.86g (65%) of 2-azidomethyl-4-chloro-1-trifluoromethoxy-benzene as a colorless oil.
