Triphenylphosphine → HCID 66655178, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triphenylphosphine (17.29 g, 65.7 mmol) and diisopropylazodicorboxylate (13.3 g, 65.7 mmol) were added to a solution of 2-({4-cyano-3-[(trifluoromethyl)oxy]phenyl}amino)-2-oxoethyl acetate (Intermediate 52, 8.0 g, 26.5 mmol) in THF (160 mL) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. Trimethylsilyl azide (7.60 g, 66.0 mmol) was added dropwise at room temperature and the mixture was heated to reflux for 4 hr. THF was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was diluted with EtOAc and washed with ice-cooled water. The extracted organic layer was washed with brine solution, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude product. This was purified by column chromatography (100-200 mesh silica gel), eluting with 20% EtOAc/pet ether to give the title compound (7.0 g).
