Procedure

This ester was dissolved in DMF (420 mL), treated with sodium azide (33.40 g, 0.514 mol), and heated at 60° C. overnight. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated. The resultant slurry was poured into brine (500 mL) and extracted with ether (4×500 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (2×100 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. The crude material was filtered (eluant CH2Cl2) through a short plug of silica gel to provide 23.18 g (42% from 2,3-cycloheptenopyridine) of 9-azido-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-cyclohepta[b]pyridine as a red oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.53-1.66 (m, 1H), 1.73-2.14 (m, 5H), 2.63-2.72 (m, 1H), 2.99-3.09 (m, 1H), 4.93 (dd, 1H, J=7.8, 1.7 Hz), 7.13 (dd, 1H, J=7.9, 4.8 Hz), 7.44 (d, 1H, J=5.7 Hz), 8.39 (dd, 1H, J=4.8, 1.9 Hz).
