tert-Butanol → HCID 178453943, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 765 mg (4.99 mmol) of trans-4-cyanocyclohexane carboxylic acid in 10 mL of tert-butanol was added 766 μL (5.49 mmol) of triethylamine and 1.13 mL (5.24 mmol) of diphenylphosphorylazide at room temperature, and the mixture was refluxed for 6 hours. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, ethyl acetate was added to this mixture and the organic layer was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution, then, dried over with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=2/1) to give 608 mg (54%) of the title compound.
