Triphenylphosphine → (R)-tert-butyl 4-((1R,2S)-3-azido-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-2-methylpropyl)-2,2-dimethyloxazolidine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of tert-butyl (4R)-4-((1R,2S)-1-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidine-3-carboxylate (1.2 g, 3.0 mmol), DIAD (1.2 mL, 5.9 mmol) and PPh3 (1.6 g, 5.9 mmol) in THF (20 mL), diphenylphosphonic azide (1.3 mL, 5.9 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (0-15% EtOAc in hexanes) to provide the sub-title compound (1.09 g, 86%). LCMS calc. for C15H33N4O2Si (M+H-Boc)+: m/z=329.2. found 329.2.
