Reaction Steps

To (R)-5-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one (660 mg, 5.73 mmol), hydrogen azide (10.8 mL, 8.60 mmol, 0.8 M in toluene), and PPh3 (2.25 g, 8.60 mmol) in THF was added DIAD dropwise. The mixture was stirred at rt for 1 h. LCMS indicated the completion of the reaction. The mixture was partially concentrated, filtered, and purified by RP-HPLC to give (R)-5-(azidomethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one (730 mg, 87%, 90% pure). LRMS (M+H+) m/z 141.1.
