>2nd eq forms the enolate
My bad, i phrased that ambiguosly. Of course an enolate is formed in step 1. What i meant is there is only 0.2 eq of LDA left to deprotonate the azido compound, forming an azido enolate. That is, if excess LDA isnt removed. Anyway, thats not important because of what i said here >>8448396
>why do you think it says "30 sec"?
Look at the pic again m8, it says 3 hours. 30 sec is for the reaction with trisylN3.
Heres a pic from Wikipedia to give you an idea. Different compound but basically the same reaction.
