Triphenylphosphine → 3,5-Diethyl-1-benzoyloxy-4-(4-(2,2-diethoxyethoxy)butyloxy)benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 16.0 g of 4-(2,2-diethoxyethoxy)butanol, 18.9 g of 2,6-diehtyl-4-benzoyloxyphenol (which had been produced according to the method as described in JP-A 8-337549/1996), 20.2 g of triphenylphosphine, and 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran was slowly added dropwise 17.0 g of diisopropyl azodicarboxylate with stirring under ice cooling in a stream of nitrogen gas. After stirring at room temperature for 6 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated to give a residue. This residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography, which afforded 31.4 g (yield, 88%) of 3,5-diethyl-1-benzoyloxy-4-(4-(2,2-diethoxyethoxy)butyloxy)benzene, nD24.8 1.5129.
