Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 8-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-benzoxepine-4-carboxylate (0.189 g, 0.800 mmol), 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol (0.240 g, 1.20 mmol) and tributylphosphine (0.299 mL, 1.20 mmol) in toluene (8 mL) was stirred under ice-cooling. 1,1′-(Azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (0.279 g, 1.20 mmol) was added by small portions, and the mixture was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 8 hr. Hexane (4 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, and the precipitated insoluble material was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (5%-20% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (0.20 g, yield 60%) as a colorless oil.
