Triphenylphosphine → HCID 89580782, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(1-hydroxyethyl)benzoate (300 mg. 1.67 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (80 mL) were added triphenylphosphine (570 mg, 2.2 mmol) and pyridin-4-ol (159 mg, 1.67 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature, and then cooled to 0° C. And diisopropylazodicarboxylate (568.3 mg, 2.8 mmol) was added dropwise to the solution at 0° C. The resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. Then the mixture was concentrated to give a residue and the residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, ethyl acetate/petroleum ether=1:10) to give methyl 4-(1-(pyridin-4-yloxy)ethyl)benzoate as an oil (151 mg, 35%). LRMS (M+H) m/z: calcd 257.1. found 257.
