Reaction Steps

8-Azido-octan-1-ol (1.99 g, 11.6 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (25 mL) and Lindlar catalyst (200 mg) was added. The solution was hydrogenated at 50 psi, 30° C. for 2 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration through Kieselguhr and the solvent was removed in vacuo to give a white solid 1.33 g (79% yield), mp 48°-53° C.;
