Reaction Steps

A mixture of crude N-(3-(chloromethyl)-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)phenyl)-N-methylmethanesulfonamide and 91.2 mg (1.40 mmol) of NaN3 in 4 mL of DMF was stirred at 70° C. for about 3 h. Water and EtOAc were added, and the organic layer was washed with water (2×) and then brine. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc, and the combined extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. Purification by flash silica gel chromatography provided 88.4 mg of N-(3-(azidomethyl)-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)phenyl)-N-methylmethanesulfonamide as a mixture.
