178 173<br />

Adapted from the methods of Sharpless 10 sodium azide (894 mg, 13.7 mmol) was<br />

added <strong>to</strong> a stirred solution of cyclic carbonate (3.0 g, 12.5 mmol) in DMF (12 cm 3 ) and<br />

water (0.20 cm 3 , 11 mmol) and heated <strong>to</strong> 110 °C for 48 hr under a nitrogen<br />

atmosphere. Upon cooling, the resulting slurry was triturated with Et 2 O (3 x 50 cm 3 ),<br />

filtered through Celite, and solvent removed under vacuum distillation <strong>to</strong> give crude<br />

azide 178 as an orange oil. 11<br />

By the method of Blum, 12 crude azide 178 was dissolved in Et 2 O (175 cm 3 ),<br />

triphenylphosphine (3.28 g, 12.5 mmol) added and the solution brought <strong>to</strong> reflux for 2<br />

hr. Et 2 O was added until precipitation s<strong>to</strong>pped, the mixture filtered and the filtrate<br />

concentrated under vacuum. Flash chroma<strong>to</strong>graphy (90:9:1 petrol:EtOAc:Et 3 N) gave<br />

aziridine 173 (1.57 g, 64%) as clear needles.<br />
