Procedure

To a solution of diethyl 3-bromopropylphosphonate (1 eq) in EtOH (2 M) was added sodium azide (5 eq) in water (4 M). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux overnight. The mixture was then diluted with water, extracted with DCM three times. The combined organic layers are washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated en vaccuo. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on a COMBIFLASH® system (ISCO) using 80-100% EtOAc/Hex to give the product as a colorless oil.
