Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Compound 2 (3.45 g, 15.452 mmol) and PPh3 (6.14 g, 23.17 mmol) in 70 mL of DCM was added NCS (3.19 g, 23.178 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours. After removal of solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was dissolved in Et2O. The solution was washed with brine and dried with MgSO4. The solution was filtered and concentrated. The residue was subjected to chromatography over silica gel (Hexanes/EtOAc=9.5/0.5) to give Compound 3 (3.585 g, 96%). 1H-NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.38 (s, 1H), 7.35 (s, 1H), 6.89 (s, 1H), 4.57 (s, 2H), 4.37 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 3.00 (s, 6H), 1.39 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H); 13C-NMR (125 MHz, CDCl3) δ 166.73, 150.63, 138.35, 131.59, 117.31, 116.20, 113.22, 60.95, 46.40, 40.43, 14.31; ESI-MS: m/z (MH+): 242.0942 (calc'd), 242.0944 (found).
