close bootstrap 5 modal before send ajax

I want to close the bootstrap 5 modal before sending ajax. For this, I used the following code, but Ajax runs first then the medal is closed.

jQuery.ajax({
        async: false,
        beforestart: function () {
            $("#freeModal").modal('hide');
        },
        url: '/url',
        })

And I don’t want to use the following codes:

$("#myModal").modal('hide')
$("#myModal").on('hidden.bs.modal', function(){
        jQuery.ajax({
            async: false,
            url: '/url',
            })
  });

Is there a way to close the medal first and then send Ajax?
