Triphenylphosphine → (Z)-3-(2-aminoethyl)-5-(4-ethoxybenzylidene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

Compound 2 (1.26 g, 5.08 mmol), 2-(tritylamino)ethanol (2.00 g, 6.60 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (1.80 g, 6.86 mmol) were dissolved in 51 mL of anhydrous THF, and stirred at room temperature for 5 min. DIAD (1.3 mL, 6.60 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture and then stirred overnight at 45° C. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with sat'd NH4Cl aqueous solution. The organic layer was collected, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by silica column chromatography (30% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford 3 (75.0%, 2.71 g) as a white solid.
