Triphenylphosphine → Ethyl 4-bromo-2-nitro-6-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 4-bromo-2-nitro-6-(trifluoromethyl)phenylcarbamate (1049.3 mg), 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol (1.7217 g) and triphenylphosphine (3.0183 g) in tetrahydrofuran (15 ml) was added diethyl azodicarboxylate (2.2505 g). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 hours, and then concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was purified by silica gel column (110 g, hexane:ethyl acetate=20:1→10:1) to give the title compound (796.8 mg, 53%) and recovered ethyl 4-bromo-2-nitro-6-(trifluoromethyl)phenylcarbamate (489.2 mg, 47%).
