Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-nitrophthalimide (2.0 g, 10.41 mmol), triphenylphosphine (11.45 mmol, 2.99 g) and iso-propanol (11.45 mmol, 0.73 ml) in anhydrous THF (40 ml) was added diisopropylazodicarboxylate (2.37 g, 11.45 mmol) and the reaction stirred for 16 hrs at room temperature. Water and ethyl acetate were added and the organic phase separated, washed with brine, then dried (MgSO4) and evaporated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography (30% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to afford the title compound as a pale yellow solid (1.27 g, 52%). HPLC retention time 4.60 min. Mass spectrum (ES+) m/z 235 (M+H).
