Water → 3-{[4-(4-Acetyl-3-hydroxy-2-propyl-phenoxymethyl)-phenyl]-amino-methyl}-benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-{[4-(4-acetyl-3-hydroxy-2-propyl-phenoxymethyl)-phenyl]-azido-methyl}-benzonitrile (1.77 g, 4.02 mmol), triphenylphosphine (1.16 g, 4.42 mmol), water (0.5 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (25 mL) is stirred 18 hr. The mixture is concentrated, diluted with water (100 mL) and extracted to ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined extracts are dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to a bright yellow residue. The compound is used without further purification. LCMS M−1 413.
