Participants

Reaction Steps

The phenylmethylalcohol compound (1.98 grams) (Scheme C, Compound C1) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL). Triphenylphosphine (1.84 grams), phthalimide (1.03 grams) and diethylazodicarboxylate (1.10 mL) were added to the mixture which was then stirred for 16 hours before being evaporated in vacuo. The residue was column chromatographed (silica gel) using a mobile phase of hexane-ethyl acetate 2:1 to give a N-[3-[[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-thiazolyl]methoxy]phenylmethyl]phthalimide (Scheme C, Compound C2). Mp 156.5–157.5° C.; MS 461 (MH+).
