2-(2-azidoethoxy)ethanol

Conditions: temp:80.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A solution of 10.0 grams of 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol in 50 mL of deionized water was treated with 10.4 grams (2 eq) of sodium azide, and the reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 48 hours. The solution was cooled to room temperature, saturated with sodium chloride and extracted with 3×50 mL of ether. The combined organics were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give 7.25 grams (69%) of the desired product as a clear, colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ=2.05 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 1H, OH), 3.42 (t, J=5 Hz, 2H), 3.63 (dd, J=4.4, 5.6 Hz), 3.71 (dd, J=4.4, 4.8 Hz, 2H), 3.77 (dt, J=4.4, 6 Hz, 2H). extracted with 3×50 mL of ether The combined organics were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate filtered concentrated

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A solution of 2-(2-azido-ethoxy)-ethanol 2 (14.1 g, 0.108 mol) and pyridine (13 ml, 1.5 equiv.) in CH2Cl2 (150 ml) was cooled in an ice bath. p-Toluenesulfonyl chloride (30.7 g, 1.5 equiv.) then DMAP (173 mg, 0.01 equiv.) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 72 h, then washed with a 1 M HCl aqueous solution (3×50 ml), dried over MgSO4, filtrated then concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash column chromatography (eluent: pet. ether/AcOEt 9:1 then 7:3) afforded tosylate 3 as a colorless oil (23.8 g, 78%). 1H and 13C NMR spectra matched the literature data (Gill, H. et al. J. Med. Chem. 2009, 52, 5816-5825). washed with a 1 M HCl aqueous solution (3×50 ml) dried over MgSO4 filtrated then concentrated under reduced pressure Purification by flash column chromatography (eluent

Procedure: A solution of 2-(2-chloro-ethoxy)-ethanol (15 g, 0.12 mol) and sodium azide (15.7 g, 2 equiv.) in H2O (50 ml) was heated at 90° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled down to RT then extracted with CH2Cl2 (6×50 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4 and filtrated. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure to give azide 2 as a colorless liquid (15 g, 95%). 1H and 13C NMR spectra matched the literature data (Cheng, H. et al. J. Med. Chem. 2005, 48, 645-653). then extracted with CH2Cl2 (6×50 ml) The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4 filtrated The solvents were removed under reduced pressure
