Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-amino-5-methoxyphenol (5.44 g, 39.1 mmol), isopropyl alcohol (3.6 ml, 47 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (12.0 g, 47 mmol) in THF, was added diethyl azodicarboxylate (7.4 ml, 47 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h and the solvent was removed. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 20% EtOAc/hexanes to afford the title compound (4.13 g). MS m/z: 182 [M+H]+
