Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of sodium nitrite (486 mg, 7.1 mmol) in H2O (6 mL) was added to a solution of methyl 2-amino-4,5-dimethoxy benzoate (1.0 g, 4.7 mmol) in 6N—HCl (20 mL) at 0° C. under N2 atmosphere. After stirring for 15 min, the mixture was then added dropwise to a stirred solution of sodium azide (611 mg, 9.4 mmol) and sodium acetate (3.86 g, 47 mmol) in H2O (30 mL) at 0° C. under N2 atmosphere. After the addition was completed, the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 2 hrs. The resulting precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration, wash with cold water and dried under reduced pressure to yield methyl 2-azido-4,5-dimethoxybenzoate (909 mg, 82%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 600 MHz) δ 7.42 (s, 1H), 6.66 (s, 1H), 3.95 (s, 3H), 3.90 (s, 6H); MS (ES+) m/z 238.2 (M+H)+
