Triphenylphosphine → 3-Acetyl-1-chloro-5-(3,3-dichloroprop-2-enyloxy)-2-[4-(5-trifluoromethylpyrid-2-yloxy)butyloxy]benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under an atmosphere of protective gas, 0.1 g of 3-acetyl-1-chloro-5-(3,3-dichloroprop-2-enyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzene, 0.08 g of 4-(5-trifluoromethylpyrid-2-yloxy)butan-1-ol and 0.093 g triphenylphosphine were dissolved in 2 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran (THF). With ice-bath cooling, 56 μl of diethyl azodicarboxylate were added dropwise. After about 30 minutes, the ice-bath was removed, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was taken up in a mixture of ethyl acetate and water. After shaking, the organic phase was isolated, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified chromatographically. Yield: 0.051 g (35%)
