Tetrahydrofuran → HCID 18707320, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

535 mg of methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide was suspended in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran with stirring. Thereto was added 190 mg of potassium tert-butoxide at -5° C., and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour. Thereto was added 500 mg of 2-(3,4-diethoxyphenyl)-4-(3-methoxycarbonyl-4-methoxymethoxy-5-formylphenyl)thiazole. The mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 2 hours and at room temperature for 1 hour. To the reaction mixture were added 30 ml of ethyl acetate and 20 ml of water, and phase separation was conducted. The organic layer was washed with 20 ml of a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried and subjected to distillation to remove the solvent. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane/n-hexane=2/1 by v/v) to obtain 240 mg of 2-(3,4-diethoxyphenyl)-4-(3-methoxymethoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy-5-vinylphenyl)thiazole (A) and 120 mg of 2-(3,4-diethoxyphenyl)-4-(3-methoxymethoxycarbonyl-4-methoxymethoxy-5-vinylphenyl)thiazole (B).
