Strangely, the order of spots is reversed as compared with previous attempt #10 . The azide is expected to appear further up the plate than the alcohol, as in #10, so unsure what is causing this. There also appears to be a second product in the SM - the SM used was from KBS15-3 (made in 2021) so this may be a decomposition product?
Added more DPPA (0.26 mL, 1.23 mmol, 0.8 equiv.) and DBU (0.18 mL, 1.23 mmol, 0.8 equiv.) at 10 am
TLC at 4pm indicated completion - used a fresher sample of SM (from NMR sample of 15-4).
Vial (empty) = 15.7808 Vial (full) = 16.5859 Mass = 0.8051 mg
1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 4.23, 4.20, 4.17, 4.12.
NMR indicates product formation but has lots of junk - probably ethyl acetate, DBU and DPPA.

Will try to column before carrying through.
Ran a column with a gradient of ethyl acetate in hexanes, 0 - 10%. Fractions had 2 products by TLC -- first product largely in fractions 1 - 14 and second largely in fractions 16 - 30 (didn't check more closely).
Product
Vial (empty) = 15.9410 Vial (full) = 16.1768 Mass = 235.8 mg
0.978 mmol
Side product
Vial (empty) = 15.9786 Vial (full) = 16.0726
Product
1H NMR (300 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ 4.24 (s, 2H), 4.20 (s, 2H), 4.17 (s, 5H), 4.12 (s, 2H).

Mostly product, with some traces of ethyl acetate and water.
Side product

Possibly some unreacted SM but largely grease/solvent impurities.
