Procedure

Racemic cis-methyl-5-methyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane-5-carboxylate, 66b, (2.2 g, 12.93 mmol) was added to a flask containing MeOH (90 mL) and H2O (10 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere. NH4Cl (1.38 g, 0.90 mL, 25.86 mmol) and NaN3 (2.52 g, 38.79 mmol) were then added to the reaction mixture. The mixture was heated to reflux for 16 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the oil was taken up in H2O and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography to afford 900 mg of racemic methyl-3-azido-2-hydroxy-1-methyl-cyclohexanecarboxylate.
