Triphenylphosphine → 3-[4-Chloro-2-(1-methyl-2-propynyloxy)phenyl]-1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyluracil

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.7 g (5.3 mmol) of 3-(4-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyluracil, 0.63 g (9.0 mmol) of 1-butyn-3-ol and 1.57 g (6.0 mmol) of triphenylphosphine were dissolved in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and 1.0 g (6.0 mmol) of diethyl azodicarboxylate was dropwise added thereto under cooling with ice. After stirring at room temperature for 1 hour, the solvent was distilled off. Then, the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 1.86 g (yield: 93.9%) of the desired product as white crystals. Melting point: 96-99° C.
