Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3 (13.5 g, 48.7 mmol), THF (100 mL) and water (50 mL) was added triphenyl phosphine (14.05 g, 53.5 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. The THF and water were removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in the minimal amount of dichloromethane and passed through a silica gel pad (50 g) and washed with dichloromethane (500 mL) followed by a 4:1 mixture of dichloromethane-5% ammonia in methanol (500 mL). The appropriate fractions were concentrated and recrystallized from ethyl acetate to yield 6.45 g of 4 as a pale yellow solid.
