Triphenylphosphine → Thiocholesterol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Succinate 27 (2.1 g, 1.9 mmol) was dissolved in dichloroethane (8 mL). To that solution DMAP (0.228 g, 1.9 mmol) was added. 2,2′-Dithio-bis(5-nitropyridine) (0.58 g, 1.9 mmol) in acetonitrile/dichloroethane (3:1, 8 mL) was added successively. To the resulting solution triphenylphosphine (0.49 g, 1.9 mmol) in acetonitrile (4 ml) was added. The reaction mixture turned bright orange in color. The solution was agitated briefly using wrist-action shaker (5 mins). Long chain alkyl amine-CPG (LCAA-CPG) (12 g, 1860 μmoles, 1551m/g) was added. The suspension was agitated for 4 h. The CPG was filtered through a sintered funnel and washed with acetonitrile, dichloromethane and ether successively. Unreacted amino groups were masked using acetic anhydride/pyridine. The loading capacity of the CPG 28 was measured by taking UV measurement. (57 μM/g).
