Sodium Iodide → (R)-5-(2-Azido-1-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)ethyl)-8-(benzyloxy)quinolin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

(R)-8-(Benzyloxy)-5-(2-bromo-1-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)ethyl)quinolin-2(1H)-one (10.0 g, 20.5 mmol) was dissolved in dimethyl formamide (180 mL) and water (20 mL). Sodium iodide (3.39 g, 22.6 mmol) and sodium azide (1.47 g, 22.6 mmol) were added sequentially. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT until all the solid was in solution. The solution was heated at 80° C. for 40 hours then cooled to RT and diluted with ethyl acetate (300 mL). The mixture was washed with water, brine (×2) and the organic extract was dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was triturated with iso-hexane to afford the desired compound (8.16 g, 88%). The material was used without further purification in the next step.
