Triphenylphosphine → HCID 67330598, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzoate (5.0 g) and ethyl L-lactate (2.9 ml) in tetrahydrofuran (120 ml) was added triphenylphosphine (10 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. To the mixture was added under ice-cooling diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (20 ml), and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 4 hours. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and water was added thereto, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=5/1) to give the title compound (9.5 g).
