N-Hydroxyphthalimide → HCID 22131438, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-(hydroxymethyl)quinoline (520 mg, 3.27 mmol), triphenyl phosphine (900 mg, 3.44 mmol, 1.05 equiv) and N-hydroxyphthalimide (560 mg, 3.43 mmol, 1.05 equiv) were dissolved in 25 mL of dry THF. Diethylazodicarboxylate (574 μL, 3.63 mmol, 1.11 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 (782 mg) as a fluffy white solid. MS(CI) m/e 305 (M+H)+.
