Triphenylphosphine → HCID 91262502, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled (0° C.) mixture of 4-acetyl-1-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-5-cyclohexyl-3-hydroxy-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-one (2.05 g, 5.84 mmol), methyl (S)-mandelate (1.36 g, 8.18 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (2.0 g, 7.6 mmol) in THF (50 ml) is added dropwise DIAD (1.6 ml, 7.6 mmol). The reaction is then left to warm to room temperature and is stirred for 12 hours. The solvent is removed under vacuum and the oily residue is plugged through a pad of silica gel (eluent 1/1 hexanes/ethyl acetate). The solvent is removed and the residual oil is purified by radial chromatography (eluent 9/1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) to yield each diastereomer (1 g) as a white foam.
