Triphenylphosphine → methyl 2-((S)-6-((4-(benzyloxy)-2',6'-dimethyl-4'-(((R)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)oxy)biphenyl-3-yl)methoxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetate

Reaction Steps

(R)-(4-(Benzyloxy)-2′,6′-dimethyl-4′-((tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)oxy)biphenyl-3-yl)methanol 36a (637 mg, 1.69 mmol) was dissolved in 20 mL of dichloromethane, followed by addition of methyl (S)-2-(6-hydroxyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetate (423 mg, 2.03 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (532 mg, 2.03 mmol). The reaction solution was cooled down to 0° C., followed by addition of diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (411 mg, 2.03 mmol), then warmed up to room temperature and stirred for 12 hours. The resulting solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the crude title compound methyl 2-((S)-6-((4-(benzyloxy)-2′,6′-dimethyl-4′-(((R)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)oxy)biphenyl-3-yl)methoxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetate 36b (1 g) as a brown oil, which was used directly in the next step without further purification.
