Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction was carried out in a manner similar to Reference Example 13 a) except for using 2.80 g (12.4 mmol) of 4-benzyloxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde, 6.39 g (49.5 mmol) of ethyl azide acetate, 3.37 g (49.5 mmol) of sodium ethoxide and 50 ml of ethanol. Ethyl 3-(4-benzyloxy-2-methylphenyl)-2-azidopropenoate was thus obtained in the yield of 3.24 g.
