Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,6-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol (6.27 g, 46.1 mmol) and diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD, 9.24 g, 45.7 mmol) in dry THF (30 ml) was added drop wise to a solution of 3-Hydroxybenzonitrile (5 g, 37 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (TPP, 11.99 g, 45.7 mmol) in THF (100 ml) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature for 4 hours or until all the starting material is consumed, diluted with ether and washed with water (2×). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated, and purified by flash chromatography on a silica gel column (hex:ethyl acetate 2:1) to give the title compound as a white solid.
