Triphenylphosphine → HCID 68523774, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3,3-dimethyloxindole (409 mg, 2.53 mmol), (S)-3-chloro-1-phenyl-1-propanol (376 mg, 2.20 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (664 mg, 2.53 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) under nitrogen was added slowly diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (490 μL, 2.53 mmol) via a syringe. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the viscous brown liquid residue was purified using Isco CombiFlash Companion chromatography (RediSep 12-g silica column, 0-12% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 236 mg (34%) of 1-[(1R)-3-chloro-1-phenylpropyl]-3,3-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one as a viscous colorless liquid. MS (ES) m/z 314.1 ([M+H]+); HRMS: calculated for C19H20ClNO+H+, 314.1306; found (ESI, [M+H]+), 314.1299.
