Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(2-chloro-ethoxy)-4-chloro-6-nitro-phenylamine (3.07 g, 12.2 mmol), sodium azide (1.59 g, 24.4 mmol) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (30 ml) was allowed to heat at 60° C. for 18 hours. The reaction was poured into water (150 ml) and extracted with ethyl ether (2×100 ml). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent was removed under vacuum to afford an orange solid. The solid was washed with ethyl ether (5 ml) to afford an orange crystalline solid: mp 113-114° C.
