Sodium Azide → 1-[(2S,4R)-4-azido-5-methoxy-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl]ethyl benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[(2S,4S)-5-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl]ethyl benzoate (compound 25j, 400 mg, 1 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was added sodium azide (65 mg, 1.05 mmol) at room temperature and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and H2O, the organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc twice. The organic layers were combined, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford 600 mg crude product of 1-[(2S,4R)-4-azido-5-methoxy-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl]ethyl benzoate (compound 25k), which was used in next step without further purification.
