Reaction Steps

Phthalyl alcohol (1.15 g, 8.31 mmol) was dissolved in 5 ml of THF, and bisdiisopropylaminochlorophosphine (2.21 g, 8.31 mmol) which was dissolved in 5 ml of THF was added dropwise to the solution at -15° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. Afterward, the temperature of the solution was adjusted to room temperature, and after the disappearance of phthalyl alcohol had been confirmed, hydrochloride of diisopropylamine was washed with ether.
