Reaction Steps

Tribromoethanol (43.8 parts) was converted to the corresponding chloroformate by reaction with 40 parts of phosgene in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of base. The purified intermediate was reacted with an excess of sodium azide to produce the β,β,β-tribromoethyl azidoformate.
