Hydrochloric Acid → Ethyl 3-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl-2-[[hydroxy[2-phenyl-1-[[(phenylmethoxy)carbonyl]amino]ethyl]phosphinyl]methyl]propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

200 mg (0.34 mmol) of ethyl 3-(4-bromophenyl)-2-[[hydroxy[2-phenyl-1-[[(phenyl-methoxy)carbonyl]amino]ethyl]phosphinyl]methyl]propanoate are condensed with 42 mg (0.34 mmol) of phenylboronic acid, working in 1.8 ml of a 2/1 toluene/methanol mixture, tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium and 0.4 ml of 2M sodium carbonate (0.8 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred for 6 hours under nitrogen and at reflux. After cooling, 10 ml of ethyl acetate are added and the mixture is acidified to pH=3 with aqueous 2N hydrochloric acid solution. After filtration through Celite, rinsed with ethyl acetate, the solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure. The product is purified by recrystallization from a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane. 180 mg of product are recovered (yield=90.4%).
