Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.200 g (1.23 mmol) of 2,6-difluorobenzyl chloride in 0.5 mL of DMSO was added dropwise to a mixture of 0.090 g (1.23 mmol) of NaN3 in 2 mL of DMSO at 20-25° C. The reaction was left stirring at 20-25° C. during 4 h. until showing completion by TLC. The crude was treated with 1.6 mL of water and 1.6 mL of cyclohexane and the organic phase was vacuum distilled to obtain 0.210 g (97%) of 2,6-difluorobenzyl azide as yellowish oil
