Participants

Reaction Steps

A procedure similar to that described in Preparation 12 was repeated, except that 1.00 g of phenoxymethyloxirane, 1.94 g of sodium azide, 10 ml of methyl formate and 45 ml of an 8:1 by volume mixture of methanol and water were used, to give 1.30 g of the title compound as a pale yellow oil having an Rf value of 0.26 (on silica gel thin gel thin layer chromatography, using a 1:4 by volume mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane as the developing solvent).
