Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-Chloro-6,N,N-trimethyl-isonicotinamide (2.3 g) in acetonitrile (30 ml) at −15° C. was added DCM (20 ml) pre-cooled triflic anhydride (3 mL) dropwise. This was stirred for 10 min at −10° C. and then sodium azide (4.6 g) was added. This was allowed to warm to room temperature and after 2 h, the reaction was neutralised with a cold 5% NaHCO3(aq) solution and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was separated, dried and concentrated in vacuum. Flash chromatography (100:0 to 40:60 gradient cyclohexane:EtOAc) afforded the title compound (260 mg). Rt=1.21 min (method D).
