In fact, <strong>the</strong> benzo[b]furanes (entries4-6) reacted better than <strong>the</strong> benzhydroles (entries 1-3) without anyapparent reason. The reaction takes place <strong>in</strong> two discrete steps, <strong>the</strong> firstone be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> phosphate formation, followed by azide displacement(Scheme 4.14).H+R RR R 1 N1 (PhO) R R 2 PN 31ONOH N 327a,c,g,m DBUO P OPh -N 3 55a-dOPhScheme 4.14: reaction mechanism for azide syn<strong>the</strong>sis by DPPA-DBU.The mechanism was proposed by Thompson 13 The reaction hasconsiderable advantages as compared to <strong>the</strong> Mitsunobu reaction withDPPA. The only by-product <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> reaction is <strong>the</strong> DBU salt <strong>of</strong>diphenylphosphate. This salt is water soluble <strong>and</strong> can be removed dur<strong>in</strong>gaqueous work up.
