Water → 5-(Pyrid-2-yl)thiophene-2-carbonyl azide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-(pyrid-2-yl)thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride (254 mg, Reference Example 43) in acetone (3 mL) was treated with a solution of sodium azide (128 mg) in a water and acetone mixture (3.5 mL, 1:6, v/v). After stirring at room temperature for a further 75 minutes the reaction mixture was treated with water (4 mL). The insoluble material was collected and washed with water to give the title compound (217 mg) as a white solid, which was used without further purification.
