Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chloro-4-(hydroxymethyl)benzoic acid, methyl ester (11.09 g, 55.3 mmol), diphenylphosphoryl azide (22.58 g, 82.0 mmol) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (8.57 g, 56.3 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran was stirred overnight at room temperature. Silica gel was added and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was chromatographed (10% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give 4-(azidomethyl)-2-chlorobenzoic acid, methyl ester (12.17 g, 98%) as a white solid.
