Triphenylphosphine → tert-Butyl {3-[4-bromo-6,6-dimethyl-2-(4-methyl-3-nitrophenyl)-7,9-dioxo-1,6,7,9-tetrahydro-8H-imidazo[4,5-h]isoquinolin-8-yl]propyl}[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]carbamate

Reaction Steps

DIAD (1.15 mL, 5.87 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 4-bromo-6,6-dimethyl-2-(4-methyl-3-nitrophenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-h]isoquinoline-7,9(6H,8H)-dione (1.3 g, 2.93 mmol), tert-butyl [2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl](3-hydroxypropyl)carbamate (from Example 1) (1.99 g, 5.87 mmol), and PPh3 (1.54 g, 5.87 mmol) in THF (14.7 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 30 min, then was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified twice by flash chromatography (40-63μ silica gel) first with hexane:EtOAc 1:1 and then with CH2Cl2:acetone 95:5 to give the title compound (789.6 mg, 35% yield).
