Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1S,3S,4S)-3-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-4-({[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)cyclopentyl methanesulfonate (2.66 g, 0.00606 mol) in N,N-Dimethylformamide (20 mL, 0.2 mol) was added sodium azide (1.21 g, 0.0186 mol), and the mixture was heated at 55° C. for 3 hours. The reaction was cooled to 23° C., quenched by addition of water and extracted with Et2O (3×), washed with water, brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (0 to 15% ethyl acetate/hexane) to obtain 2.13 g (91.1%).
