Furfuryl Alcohol → HCID 69421811, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A toluene solution (1.74 g) of 40% diethyl azodicarboxylate was added dropwise slowly to a mixture of ethyl 3-[1-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-4-phenyl-3-pyrrolyl]propionate (873 mg), furfuryl alcohol (0.216 ml), triphenyl phosphine (984 mg), and tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) at room temperature. After the solution was stirred overnight at room temperature, the reaction solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and ethyl 3-[1-[4-(2-furylmethoxy)benzyl]-4-phenyl-3-pyrrolyl]propionate (624 mg, yield: 58%) was obtained as an oily substance from the fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:4, volume ratio).
