Participants

Reaction Steps

In a similar manner to that described in Example 122, a reaction was carried out using ethyl 3-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)lactate (5.00 g), which is the product of Reference example 1(b), 4-t-butylphenol (2.50 g), triphenylphosphine (5.24 g) and a solution of diethylazodicarboxylate in toluene (40%, 8.80 ml) and the reaction mixture was treated to afford the desired compound (3.00 g) as a colorless oil.
