Phthalimide → 2-((2-Methoxy-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyridin-3-yl)methyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (2-methoxy-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyridin-3-yl)methanol (1.19 g, 5.02 mmol, Step-2), phthalimide (0.74 g, 5.02 mmol), di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate (1.05 g, 6.02 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (1.97 g, 7.53 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) is stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with n-hexane/ethyl acetate (6:1) to give 0.67 g (37% yield) of the title compound as a white solid.
