Sodium Azide → tert-Butyl 2-azido-6-azaspiro[3.4]octane-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.46 g (1.51 mmol) of tert-butyl 2-methanesulfonyloxy-6-azaspiro[3.4]octane-6-carboxylate, prepared in step 6.2., and 0.19 g (3.01 mmol) of sodium azide in 5 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide is refluxed for 12 hours under an inert atmosphere. The reaction medium is allowed to cool to room temperature and is then taken up in ethyl acetate and water. The aqueous phase is separated out and extracted twice with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic phases are washed with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and dried over sodium sulfate. After evaporating off the solvent, 0.380 g of product is obtained in the form of an orange-coloured oil, which is used without further purification in the following step.
