Triphenylphosphine → HCID 10575424, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.06 g of cholic acid methyl ester (marketed product) (4.87 mmol), 1.28 g of triphenylphosphine (4.88 mmol) and 1.70 g of diethylazadicarboxylate (0.76 mL, 4.88 mmol) in 50 ml of THF, at room temperature and under inert atmosphere, was added to a solution of 1.4 g of diphenylphosphorylazide (1.1 mL, 5.11 mmol) in 5 ml of THF during 15 minutes. After 24 hours at room temperature, 1 equivalent of diethylazadicarboxylate (0.76 mL, 4.88 mmol) and 1 equivalent of triphenylphosphine (1.28 g, 4.88 mmol) were added. After a further 24 hours the solvent was evaporated off under reduced pressure and the resulting crude was purified by flash chromatography. 1.6 g of the desired product (3.57 mmol) was obtained.
