Triphenylphosphine → methyl 7-(benzenesulfonylmethyl)-4-methyl-4H-furo[2,3-c]chromene-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (0.02 g) was added to a solution of methyl 6-(benzenesulfonylmethyl)-2-hydroxy-3-[2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-furan-3-yl]-benzoate (Intermediate 20, 0.042 g) and triphenylphosphine (0.026 g) in THF (2 mL) and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The mixture was evaporated to dryness and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica, eluting with a mixture of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane with a gradient of 5-10% to give methyl 7-(benzenesulfonylmethyl)-4-methyl-4H-furo[2,3-c]chromene-6-carboxylate (0.038 g) as a white solid.
