Triphenylphosphine → HCID 10872275, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.05 grams (S)-Acetic acid [[6-[2-[hydroxy]propyl]-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl](4-nitrophenyl)methylene]hydrazide and 0.78 grams triphenylphosphine in 70 mL tetrahydrofuran were cooled to 0° C. 0.57 grams diethyl azodicarboxylate in 5 mL tetrahydro-furan was added dropwise over 15 min. The resulting mixture was stirred for 2 h then warmed to room temperature for 2 h. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and the solution was washed with 1N HCl, water and brine. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated by rotary evaporation. The residue was eluted through a silica gel column (1:1 ethyl acetate:hexane). Fractions containing the desired compound were concentrated to a yellow oil which solidified on standing. The yellow crystalline material was slurried in 30 mL of CH2Cl2 and hexane (3:7) at 0° C. The precipitate was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated to a yellow foam. The residue was suspended in 10 mL ethanol which was warmed to reflux then slowly cooled to room temperature. The precipitate was collected by filtration and dried in a vacuum oven at 60° C. to give 0.51 grams (50%) of the subtitled product (100% ee) which was 98.3% pure by HPLC potency assay.
