Participants

Reaction Steps

123 g of (0.687 mole) of 6-chloro-2-fluorobenzyl chloride are added dropwise at 20°-40° C. to a suspension of 47 g (0.722 mole) of sodium azide in 400 ml of dimethylsulfoxide. The mixture is stirred for 4 hours at room temperature, then diluted with ice-water and extracted with cyclohexane. The solvent is removed by distillation and the residue is distilled, affording 6-chloro-2-fluorobenzyl azide; bp15 =99°-100° C.
