Triphenylphosphine → Methyl 6-(tert-butoxycarbonyl(4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(4'-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-4-yl)butyl)amino)nicotinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (50 μL, 0.25 mmol) was added to a room temperature solution of 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-4-yl)butan-1-ol (84 mg, 0.24 mmol), methyl 6-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)nicotinate (74 mg, 0.29 mmol), and triphenylphosphine (65 mg, 0.25 mmol) in 1.5 mL THF. The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solution was partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give a colorless solid. Purification by silica gel chromatography provided methyl 6-(tert-butoxycarbonyl(4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-4-yl)butyl)amino)nicotinate (30 mg, 21%) as a colorless solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.99-9.01 (m, 1H), 8.17-8.21 (m, 1H), 7.63-7.69 (m, 4H), 7.49-7.54 (m, 3H), 7.39-7.44 (m, 2H), 5.98-6.08 (m, 1H), 3.92 (s, 3H), 2.61-2.74 (m, 1H), 2.39-2.54 (m, 1H), 2.17-2.36 (m, 2H), 1.31 (s, 9H).
