Triphenylphosphine → methyl (2R)-(4-{2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]ethoxy}phenyl){[(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl]-amino}ethanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.465 g (1.77 mmol) of triphenylphosphine in 10 mL of THF was added 0.286 g (1.77 mmol) of tert-butyl N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-carbamate followed by 0.476 g (1.18 mmol) of methyl (2R)-{[(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl]amino}(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanoate and 0.279 mL (1.77 mmol) of diethyl azodicarboxylate. The reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate/hexanes (1:3) to give 0.383 g of methyl (2R)-(4-{2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]ethoxy}phenyl){[(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl]amino}ethanoate as a white solid.
