Triphenylphosphine → 4-(1-t-Butoxycarbonylpiperidin-4-yloxy)-3-isopropylnitrobenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-t-butoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxypiperidine (2.96 g), 2-isopropyl-4-nitrophenol (2.66 g) and triphenylphosphine (5.00 g) in dichloromethane (80 ml) was added diethyl azodicarboxylate (3.0 ml) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column using dichloromethane as an eluant to give the desired compound (4.07 g, yield 76%) as a brown solid.
