Phthalimide → HCID 90136018, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

At RT, 1.5 g of rac-tert-butyl [3-(4-fluorophenoxy)-2-hydroxypropyl]carbamate (5.26 mmol, 1 equivalent), 0.93 g of phthalimide (6.31 mmol, 1.2 equivalents) and 2.07 g of triphenylphosphine (7.9 mmol, 1.5 equivalents) were initially charged in 22 ml of dry THF. 1.56 ml of diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (7.9 mmol, 1.5 equivalents) were added dropwise, and the mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by chromatography on silica gel (Biotage Isolera; cyclohexane/ethyl acetate gradient as mobile phase). This gave 1.97 g of the title compound (90% of theory).
