Triphenylphosphine → S-(1-(4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)azetidin-3-yl) ethanethioate

Participants

Reaction Steps

There were added 119 mg of 3-hydroxy-1-(1,3-thiazolin-2-yl)azetidine (6) and two molar equivalents of thioacetic acid, while cooled with ice, to 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran solution containing two molar equivalents of triphenylphosphine and two molar equivalents of diethylazodicarboxylate, and the resultant solution was stirred for one hour at the same temperature, and for further one hour at a room temperature. The solvent of the reaction liquid was evaporated in a vacuum, and the obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluent: chloroform-ethanol), and, thus, there was obtained 107 mg (yield: 65%) of 3-acetylthio-1-(1,3-thiazolin-2-yl)azetidine (7).
