Sodium Azide → Methyl[1-(3-azidopropyl)cyclopropyl]acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

680 mg (2.89 mmol) of methyl[1-(3-bromopropyl)cyclopropyl]acetate and 1128 mg (17.35 mmol) of sodium azide in 5 ml of DMF were stirred at 60° C. for 2 h. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up in ethyl acetate and the solution was washed with saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure gave 389 mg (1.97 mmol, 68% of theory) of the title compound as a yellow oil.
