Reaction Steps

4-(Pyridin-2-yl)but-3-yn-1-ol (96 mg, 0.65 mmol), isoindoline-1,3-dione (140 mg, 0.97 mmol) and triphenylphosphine polymer bound 3 mmol/g (340 mg, 1.02 mmol) were dissolved in DCM (2 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Di-tert-butylazodicarboxylate (226 mg, 0.96 mmol) dissolved in DCM (0.5 mL) was added dropwise over 30 min. to the reaction mixture followed by THF (0.5 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h at room temperature. After filtration through celite, the organic phase was washed with a solution of NH4OH, brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (cyclohexane/AcOEt 3:7) to yield 130 mg (0.47 mmol, 73%) of 2-(4-(pyridin-2-yl)but-3-ynyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione as an orange solid.
