Triphenylphosphine → HCID 70446273, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diethyl azodicarboxylate (26.1 g, 0.15 mol) and triphenyl phosphine (39.3 g, 0.15 mol) were added to a solution of 3-allyloxyphenol (15 g, 0.1 mol) and 3,4-dimethoxycinnamyl alcohol (19.4 g, 0.1 mol) in THF (100 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, and ethyl ether was added. The precipitate was filtered off, and the filtrate was evaporated to a residue, which was purified by HPLC using hexane-ethyl acetate (4:1 v/v) as a liquid phase. 3,4-Dimethoxycinnamyl allyloxyphenyl ether was isolated as a crystalline mass (7.4 g, 23%), m.p. 60°-60.5° C.; NMR (CDCl3): δ3.93, 3.94 (s, s, 2 OCH3), 4.57 (d, t, J=5.5, 1.5, 1.5 Hz, CH2CH=CH2), 4.71 (d, d, J=6.0, 1.5 Hz, CH=CHCH2), 5.28-5.50 (m, CH2CH=CH2), 6.10 (m, CH2CH=CH2 ), 6.26-6.40 (m, CH=CHCH2), 6.56-7.28 (m, ArH).
