Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2 g (87.5 mmol) of sodium in 30 mL of anhydrous EtOH, maintained under a nitrogen atmosphere and cooled to −10° C., is added, dropwise, a mixture of 31.4 mL (87.5 mmol) of ethyl azidoacetate (at 34% in CH2Cl2) and 3.9 g (21.87 mmol) of 3-trimethylsilylbenzaldehyde prepared according to the procedure described in the preceding step, diluted with 3 mL of EtOH. The reaction mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 4 hours. It is then hydrolysed by adding, with vigorous stirring, 100 mL of aqueous NH4Cl solution (30%). The aqueous phase is extracted with 3×50 mL of EtOAc. The combined organic phases are washed with water, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude reaction product is purified by chromatography on a column of silica gel, eluting with an isocratic mixture of heptane and CH2Cl2 (80/20). 1.7 g of the expected ethyl 2-azido-3-(3-trimethylsilylphenyl)propenoate are thus isolated in the form of a yellow oil.
