Triphenylphosphine → ethyl 3-methyl-5-(4-Boc-morpholin-2-ylmethoxy)-benzofuran-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triphenyl phosphine polymer bound (1.37 mmol) was suspended in anhydrous dichloromethane (10 ml) then diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (1.18 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature. Then ethyl 3-methyl-5-hydroxybenzofuran carboxylate (0.91 mmol) was added over 5 minutes followed by the addition of 4-N-boc-3-morpholinecarboxylic acid (0.91 mmol) over 5 minutes too. The mixture was stirred at room temperature over night. The solvent was evaporated under vacuo and the residue purified by flash chromatography to obtain ethyl 3-methyl-5-(4-Boc-morpholin-2-ylmethoxy)-benzofuran-2-carboxylate: m/z=419 in MS ES+, as clear oil.
