N-Hydroxyphthalimide → HCID 22131444, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(hydroxymethyl)quinoline (1.20 g, 7.55 mmol), triphenyl phosphine (1.00 g, 6.29 mmol, 1.05 equiv) and N-hydroxyphthalimide (1.08 g, 6.63 mmol, 1.05 equiv) were dissolved in 25 mL of dry THF. Diethylazodicarboxylate (1.09 mL, 6.93 mmol, 1.10 equiv) was then added dropwise and the reaction was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture filtered to give a white solid. The filtrate was concentrated and a second crop of material was obtained by triturating with Et2O. This was combined with the original solid and recrystallization from EtOH gave the desired product (1.53 g) as a fluffy white solid. MS(CI) m/e 305 (M+H)+.
