3-(3'-Hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid → HCID 22627082, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the alcohol from Step F (79.7 mg, 0.345 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (90.0 mg, 0.345 mmol) in 0.5 mL of THF was added a solution of diethylazodicarboxylate (0.054 mL, 0.345 mmol) and 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid (57 mg, 0.34 mmol) in 0.5 mL of THF. After 10 minutes, HPLC analysis indicated 60% conversion. Additional triphenylphosphine (45 mg, 0.17 mmol) and diethylazodicarboxylate (0.027 mL, 0.17 mmol) were added, and the reaction was stirred for 10 more minutes. The solution was concentrated in vacuo, then purified by silica gel chromatography (3% MeOH/CH2Cl2) to provide the desired product as a white foam.
