Triphenylphosphine → 7-(1-Tert-butoxycarbonylpiperidin-4-ylmethoxy)-4-chloro-6-methoxycinnoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

DEAD (1.46 g, 8.38 mmol) was added to a suspension of 4-chloro-7-hydroxy-6-methoxycinnoline (1.47 g, 6.98 mmol), (prepared as described for the starting material in Example 1), 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-hydroxymethylpiperidine (1.65 g, 7.68 mmol), (prepared as described for the starting material in Example 6), and triphenylphosphine (2.74 g) in methylene chloride (40 ml). The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at ambient temperature, then poured onto silica and eluted with a gradient of ethyl acetate in methylene chloride (30/70 to 50/50). The fractions containing the expected product were combined and evaporated to give 7-(1-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperidin-4-ylmethoxy)-4-chloro-6-methoxycinnoline (561 mg, 58%).
