Procedure

A procedure similar to that described in Preparation 12 was repeated, except that 1.1 g of 7-phenylheptyloxymethyloxirane (prepared as described in Preparation 67), 1.4 g of sodium azide, 15 ml of methyl formate and 60 ml of an 8:1 by volume mixture of methanol and water were used, to give 1.27 g of the title compound having an Rf value of 0.45 (on silica gel thin layer chromatography, using a 1:3 by volume mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane as the developing solvent).
