Triphenylphosphine → N-cyclopropyl-3-[(4-{[5-(1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethoxy)pyridin-2-yl]methoxy}benzoyl)amino]-4-methylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of N-cyclopropyl-3-[(4-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]-4-methylbenzamide (3.1 g, 10 mmol) in dry THF (200 mL) at 25° C. was added [5-(1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethoxy)-pyridin-2-yl]methanol (2.4 g, 11 mmol), triphenylphosphine (2.9 g, 11 mmol) and di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate (2.6 g, 11 mmol). The solution was stirred for 16 hours, then the solvent was evaporated and the residue dissolved in ethyl acetate/methanol (19:1, 50 mL) and purified by chromatography on silica, eluting with a gradient of 5-20% methanol in ethyl acetate, to give the title compound as a white solid (3.8 g, 76%).
