Triphenylphosphine → methyl (R)-7-(4-fluorophenyl)-7-(5-hydroxy-6,7-dimethylindan-4-yl)heptanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-hydroxy-6,7-dimethylindan (0.96 g, 5.9 mmol), methyl (S)-7-(4-fluorophenyl)-7-hydroxyheptanoate (0.30 g, 1.2 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (0.46 g, 1.8 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (15 ml) was added dropwise a solution of 95% diethyldiazodicarboxylate (DEAD) (0.33 ml) in 1,2-dichloroethane (3 ml) at 10° C. taking 30 minutes. The mixture was stirred for one hour at the same temperature range, then the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to a silica gel coluann chromatography to give 0.18 g of methyl (R)-7-(5-hydroxy-6,7-dimethylindan-4-yl)-7-(4-fluorophenyl)heptanoate. Likewise, Compound 1, 5-8 and 10-17 were prepared.
