Participants

Reaction Steps

Under Ar, to a soln of (+/−)-tetrahydro-3-furoic acid (500 mg, 4.30 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was added triethylamine(0.66 mL, 4.74 mmol), followed by diphenylphosphoryl azide (1.02 mL, 4.74 mmol). The mixture was heated to 80° for 3 h and cooled to 23°, tert-butanol (3 mL) was then added and the resulting mixture was stirred at 23° for 16 h. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with H2O. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated to give the crude intermediate 670 mg.
