tert-Butyl (triphenylphosphoranylidene) acetate → t-Butyl 2-(7-chloro-1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)-3-oxoisoindoline-1-acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 46.0 g of 2-(7-chloro-1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)-3-hydroxyisoindolin-1-one, 78 g of t-butyloxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane and 800 ml of toluene was refluxed for 5 hours. The mixture was concentrated and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (dichloromethane-ethyl acetate) to give 54.5 g of t-butyl 2-(7-chloro-1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)-3-oxoisoindoline-1-acetate. Recrystallization from toluene-ether gave colorless crystals melting at 210°-211° C.
