Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-penten-2-ol (5.00 g, 58.1 mmol), phthalimide (8.55 g, 58.1 mmol), and triphenylphosphine (15.2 g, 58.1 mmol) in THF (40 mL), at 0° C. under nitrogen, was added a solution of diethyl azodicarboxylate (10.1 g, 58.1 mmol) in THF (20 mL) dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. (12 h) and then at 25° (12 h). The mixture was diluted with water and extracted three times with chloroform. The chloroform extracts were dried (Na2SO4), evaporated and column chromatographed on Merck silica gel 60 (70–230 mesh) with chloroform to give 8.77 g (70.2% yield) of colorless oil.
