Reaction Steps

Pieces of sodium (3.678 g, 160 mmol) were added to ethanol (200 ml) over a period of 30 minutes. The resulting solution was cooled to −18° C. and a mixture of 2-ethoxybenzaldehyde (6.007 g, 40 mmol) and ethyl azidoacetate (160 mmol) was then added, over one hour, at a rate which allowed the temperature to be maintained below −15° C. After three hours, the solution was stored at 5° C. for two days in order to give a crystalline product which was collected and washed with cold hexane in order to give an off-white solid.
