Sodium Azide → HCID 90410525, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium nitrite (100 mg, 2 mmol) in water (4 mL, 60 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-nitro-6-[(2-pyridin-2-ylprop-2-en-1-yl)oxy]aniline (350 mg, 1.3 mmol) in 4.0 M hydrogen chloride in water (4 mL, 10 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction was stirred for 5 min and was then neutralized to pH 6-7 with solid sodium bicarbonate. Sodium azide (80 mg, 1 mmol) in water (2 mL) was added drop-wise to the mixture, followed by stirring for 30 min, over which time the reaction mixture became a thick slurry. The resulting mixture was filtered and dried to give 2-{1-[(2-azido-3-nitrophenoxy)methyl]vinyl}pyridine as a dark yellow solid (0.25 g. 83%). LCMS calculated for C14H12N5O3 (M+H)+: m/z=298.1. found: 298.1.
