Reaction Steps

A mixture of freshly distilled Ti(OiPr)4 (9.5 mL, 32.1 mmol) and TMSN3 (8.4 mL, 64.1 mmol) was refluxed in dry benzene (20 mL) under nitrogen for 5 h until the solution became clear. To this was added a solution of the epoxy alcohol 8 (3.5 g, 21.3 mmol) in 40 mL dry benzene. The resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 15 min, cooled to room temperature and the solvent was removed in vaccuo. The concentrate was diluted with 20 mL of diethyl ether and treated with 15 mL of aq. 5% H2SO4. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 and the combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated to afford the crude product, which was purified by column chromatography using petroleum ether:EtOAc (3:2) to give azido diol 9 (4.2 g, 96%) as a colorless solid. mp 80-81° C.
