Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,6-diflourobenzyl bromide (100 gms), tetrabutylammonium bromide (10 gms), t-butanol (200 ml) and sodium azide (62.8 gm) were stirred at room temperature for 22-24 hours. After the completion, reaction mass was filtered and washed with t-butanol (2.5 ml ) to give 2-(azidomethyl)-1,3-difluorobenzene.
