반응 단계

Under N2, a solution of 2.08 g (11.8 mmol) of 6-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenone in 25 mL of THF was treated with 1.46 g (13.9 mmol) of 2-(1H-1-imidazolyl)-1-ethanol and 3.1 g (11.8 mmol) of triphenylphosphine. The solution was cooled in ice and treated with a solution of 1.9 mL (11.8 mmol) of diethyl azodicarboxylate in 5 mL of THF. The solution was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed twice with H2O, twice with saturated NaHCO3, then with saturated NaCl. Drying over MgSO4 and removal of the solvent under pressure left the crude product. Chromatography on silica gel, eluting with CHCl3/MeOH (95/5) gave the product which was recrystallized from EtOAc/hexane to give 1.05 g (32.9% yield) of the product as a tan solid, mp 118-120° C. The structure was confirmed by NMR and mass spectroscopy. MS m/z 271 (M+H+).
