Sodium Azide → 4-(2-((3-(Azidomethyl)oxetan-3-yl)methoxy)-3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-indan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of (3-((2,3-dimethoxy-6-(1-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-4-yl)phenoxy)methyl)oxetan-3-yl)methyl methanesulfonate (5 g, 10.82 mmol) in dimethylformamide (40 mL), was added sodium azide (3.5 g, 54.11 mmol) and the resultant reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 16 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with ice water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined ethyl acetate layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 4-(2-((3-(azidomethyl)oxetan-3-yl)methoxy)-3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-indan-1-one as a solid.
