Triphenylphosphine → ({(1S,2S,4R)-4-azido-2-[(benzyloxy)methyl]cyclopentyl}-oxy)(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1S,3S,4S)-3-[(benzyloxy)methyl]-4-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)-silyl]oxy}cyclopentanol (138.9 mg, 0.0004127 mol) and PPh3 (118 mg, 0.000451 mol) in THF (2.7 mL) at 0° C. was slowly added DEAD (71.1 μL, 0.000451 mol). The reaction was stirred for 5 minutes, then diphenylphosphonic azide (97.4 μL, 0.000452 mol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred for one hour. The reaction was partitioned with water and EtOAc. The layers were separated and the aqueous extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organics were washed with brine (1×), dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and collected in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (0 to 10% EtOAc/hexanes) to obtain 93.5 mg (63%) of the title compound.
