Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of the title compound of Example 2 (57.1 g, 205 mmol) and NaN3 (39.9 g, 614 mmol, 3.0 eq) in DMF (200 mL) was heated and stirred at 70° C. for 48 h when TLC (solvent system C) indicated the reaction to be complete. The reaction mixture was cooled to rt and poured into cold water (200 mL). The aqueous mixture was extracted with Et2O (500 mL) and the organic extract was back-washed with water (2×100 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo to afford the product (45.5 g, 98%) as a colorless oil: 1H-NMR (CDCl3) ∂3.66-3.80 (m, 1H), 3.57 (m, 1H), 3.46 (m, Japp=4.0 Hz, 1H), 3.12 (m, 2H), 1.90-2.05 (m, 2H), 1.69-1.83 (m, 2H), 1.47 (s, 9H). No attempt was made to further purify or characterize this compound.
