Methyl 3-amino-6′-methoxy-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3′-bipyridine-4-carboxylate (120 mg, 0.33 mmol) was dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid (1.6 mL) and the solution was cooled in an ice bath. Sodium nitrite (45 mg, 0.66 mmol) was added with stirring to give a dark red suspension. After 30 min, sodium azide (214 mg, 3.3 mmol) was added followed immediately by diethyl ether (1.6 mL). This was stirred in the ice bath for 30 min. and then partially concentrated on the rotary evaporator. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and sufficient saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (gas evolution) to neutralize the mixture. The organic phase was separated, washed with brine, dried with sodium sulfate, and the solvent removed to leave methyl 3-azido-6′-methoxy-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3′-bipyridine-4-carboxylate (122 mg, 95% yield) as a yellow solid. MS (ESI) m/z 392.1 (M+H). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ ppm 8.74 (1H, d, J=2.52 Hz), 8.13 (1H, dd, J=8.69, 2.39 Hz), 8.01 (2H, d, J=9.07 Hz), 7.98 (1H, s), 6.97 (2H, d, J=8.81 Hz), 6.85 (1H, d, J=8.81 Hz), 4.03 (3H, s), 4.01 (4H, s), 3.85 (3H, s).
