Triphenylphosphine → 6-Chloro-2-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy]benzoic acid 4-pyridylthio ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

31.0 g of 6-chloro-2-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy]benzoic acid, 22.0 g of 4,4'-dipyridylsulfide and 26.2 g of triphenylphosphine were suspended in 250 ml of toluene, and were violently stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the toluene was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 36.0 g of the above identified compound as a white crystal (yield 90%).
