Procedure

Azide 7 (1.7 g, 7.2 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (1.9 g, 7.2 mmol) were dissolved in a 10% solution of water in THF (66 mL) and stirred overnight at 25° C. Then more triphenylphosphine (0.8 g, 3 mmol) was added and the heating was continued at 60° C. (oil bath) for 6 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was treated with 2M HCl (100 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The water fraction was collected and ammonium hydroxide was added until the pH reached approximately 13. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL) then the organic fraction was washed with brine, water and dried with sodium sulfate. Ethyl acetate was removed under reduced pressure to give 0.8 g (53%) of amine 8.
