Triphenylphosphine → Methyl 5-[6-({[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-1-yl]-3-{(1R)-1-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethoxy}thiophene-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 4.45 g of methyl 5-[6-({[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-1-yl]-3-hydroxythiophene-2-carboxylate and 3.02 g of (1S)-1-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethanol are dissolved in 140 ml anhydrous dichloromethane. 7.07 g triphenylphosphine (polymer bound, ˜3 mmol/g) and 4.88 g of di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate are added. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 90 minutes and then filtered. The filter cake is washed with 10 ml dichloromethane and 10 ml methanol. The filtrate is concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure.
