Tributylphosphine → HCID 23298282, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6.6 g of 1,1'-(azodicarbonyl) dipiperidine in 10 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran and 20 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide was added dropwise to a mixture of 6.5 g of 1-t-butoxycarbonyl-2-hydroxy-methylindoline (prepared as described in Preparation 3), 6.5 ml of tributylphosphine, 12.2 g of 5-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-3-triphenylmethylthiazolidine-2,4-dione [prepared as described in European Patent Publication No. 549 365A1] and 100 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 20 hours. At the end of this time, insoluble materials were filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure. The concentrate thus obtained was purified by column chromatography through silica gel, using a 10:1 by volume mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate as the eluent, to give 3.70 g of the title compound, melting at 85.4-87.2° C.
