Triphenylphosphine → 5-[4-[1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-(methoxymethyl)oxypropan-2-yl]-2-propylphenyloxy]pent-2-yl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Hydroxypent-2-yl acetate (58.5 mg), triphenylphosphine (131 mg) and ethyl azodicarboxylate (2.2 mol/L, 200 μL) were added to a mixed solution of 4-[1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(methoxymethyl)oxypropan-2-yl]-2-propylphenol (69.3 mg, 200 μmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified by silica gel preparative thin-layer chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=5:1) to obtain 80.4 mg of the title compound (yield: 85%) as a colorless oil.
