Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)benzyl bromide (4.36 g, 14.1 mmol) and sodium azide (1.32 g, 20.3 mmol) in ethanol (40 ml) was refluxed 5 hours, cooled to ambient temperature, and stirred 16 hours. The mixture was filtered and the solids were washed twice with ethanol and once with diethyl ether. The combined filtrate and washes were evaporated under vacuum to provide 3.63 (95%) of 4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)benzyl azide, m.p. 71°-73° C.
