Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Chlorobutyrophenone (300.0 mg, 1.64 mmol) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 ml) at room tempaerature and then added to sodium azide (1.07 g, 16.42 mmol) at the same temperature, and thereafter stirred at 100° C. for 24 hours. The reaction solution was added to a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and then extracted by ethyl acetate, to obtain an organic layer. The extracted organic layer was washed with water and brine sequentially, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resultant saubstance was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane/ethyl acetate=5/1), whereby the target compound was obtained as a colorless oil (285.5 mg, 91.9%)
