Sodium Azide → HCID 20276024, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture consisting of 21.0 g of 2-(2-isopropylphenoxy)-1-methylethyl-p-toluenesulfonate, 3.9 g of sodium azide and N,N-dimethylformamide was heated at 70° to 75° C. for 5 hr. with stirring. Upon completion of the reaction, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate; the extract was washed consecutively with water and saturated saline; and subsequently dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was thereafter distilled off under reduced pressure and yielded 21.6 g of 2-(2-isopropylphenoxy)-1-methylethylazide.
