Triethylamine → (R)-tert-Butyl 1-azido-3-methoxypropan-2-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methanesulfonyl chloride (4.0 g, 35 mmol) in DCM (50 mL) was slowly added to a solution of (R)-tert-butyl 1-hydroxy-3-methoxypropan-2-ylcarbamate (6.0 g, 29 mmol) and Et3N (3.64 g, 36 mmol) in DCM (150 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h. The organic phase was washed with water and saturated aq NaHCO3, concentrated, and dissolved in DMF. Sodium azide (2.34 g, 36.0 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 75° C. for 4 h. The reaction mixture was diluted by EtOAc and washed with water. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with EtOAc and petroleum ether (EtOAc/PE=2/1) to give the title compound (4.3 g, 64%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 4.92 (s, 1H), 3.91 (m, 1H), 3.53-3.48 (m, 2H), 3.45-3.40 (m, 2H), 3.38 (s, 3H), 1.47 (s, 9H).
