Sodium Azide → HCID 89964488, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

8-azido-8-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline. To a solution of 8-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolin-8-ol (1.2 g, 4.09 mmol) and toluene (2.5 mL) was added DPPA (2.7 mL, 12.53 mmol) and DBU (0.77 mL, 5.11 mmol). The reaction was then treated with sodium azide (780 mg, 12.00 mmol) and stirred for 2 days. The reaction was poured into a separatory funnel containing water and EtOAc. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×25 mL). The combined EtOAc layers were concentrated in vacuo and adsorbed onto a plug of silica gel and chromatographed through a Redi-Sep® pre-packed silica gel column (40 g), eluting with 0-40% EtOAc in hexane, to provide the title compound as a colorless oil. MS (ESI pos. ion) m/z: 319.0 (MH+).
