Reaction Steps

To a solution of Compound 2 (2.8 g, 5.8 mmol) in toluene (10 ml), a solution of tributylphosphine (1.17 g, 5.8 mmol) in toluene (2 ml) was added at room temperature; this was followed by stirring for 1 hour. This was gradually added to a solution of Compound 18 (1.1 g, 4.9 mmol) and 1,1′-azobis(N,N-dimethylformamide) (1.0 g, 5.8 mmol) in toluene (10 ml), and this was followed by overnight stirring at room temperature. Ethyl acetate was added; the resulting insoluble matter was removed by Celite filtration, and washing was conducted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were concentrated under reduced pressure; the residue obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography (Yamazen YFLC Gel, eluent (n-hexane:ethyl acetate 2:1)) to yield Compound 21 (colorless oil 2.03 g, 60%).
