Tris(1,1-dimethylethyl)phosphine → HCID 67159432, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Anhydrous toluene (30.0 mL) was degassed by sparging with nitrogen for 10 minutes in a dry 200 mL schlenk flask. Tri(tert-butyl) phosphine (0.187 g; 0.924 mmol) and Pd2(dba)3 (0.283 g, 0.309 mmol) were added and the mixture was allowed to stir. After 10 minutes, 4-bromo-N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)aniline (5.92 g; 15.4 mmol), 4-(3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)propoxy)-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)aniline (6.00 g; 15.4 mmol), and sodium tert-butoxide (2.08 g, 21.6 mmol) were added. The reaction was allowed to stir at 90° C. while being monitored by TLC (5:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate). Upon the disappearance of the starting materials the mixture was filtered through Celite eluting with ethyl acetate. The product was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 5:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residual solvent was removed in vacuo (9.06 g, 90.6%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, C3D6O) δ 6.98 (m, 8H), 6.86 (m, 8H), 6.82 (s, 4H), 4.06 (t, J=6.3 Hz, 2H), 3.83 (t, J=6.3 Hz, 2H), 3.76 (s, 9H), 1.95 (q, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 0.890 (s, 9H), 0.058 (s, 6H). 13C{1H} NMR (300 MHz, C3D6O, δ): 156.40, 155.83, 143.65, 142.31, 126.24, 123.78, 116.04, 115.41, 65.28, 60.09, 55.63, 33.27, 26.23, −5.27.
