Triphenylphosphine → 5-((2S)-3-Amino-2-hydroxy-propoxy)-2-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.56 g (1.76 mmol) of 5-((2S)-3-azido-2-hydroxy-propoxy)-2-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (which was obtained in Example 140) and 1.2 g of triphenylphosphine polymer resin (3 mmol/g) was stirred in 15 mL toluene for 1.5 hours under nitrogen. The resin was collected by filtration and washed twice with 25 mL of toluene. The resin was then stirred in 60 mL of 9:1 THF/methanol for four hours. The resin was removed by vacuum filtration and washed with 9:1 THF/methanol. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. Then the solid was dried under vacuum to give 0.52 g of the title compound as a beige solid; mp 66-68° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.32-1.37 (m, 3H), 1.80 (brs, 1H), 2.61 (s, 3H), 2.69-2.75 (m, 2H), 3.69-3.76 (m, 1H), 3.82-3.95 (m, 2H), 4.23 (q, J=6.93 Hz, 2H), 4.90 (brs, 1H), 6.76 (dd, J=2.52 Hz, 8.73 Hz, 1H), 7.23 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.85 (brs, 1H), 11.65 (s, 1H); MS (ES) m/z: 293.0 (MH+); HRMS Calcd. for C15H21N2O4 (MH+): 293.1501. Found: 293.1498.
