(2-Hydroxybenzyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide → (E)-2-(3-(3-(2-hydroxystyryl)phenyl)propyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Hydroxybenzyltriphenylphosphonium bromide was coupled with phthalimide 29 according to the method used in Example 45 except that the reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure and partitioned between EtOAc and water. The combined organics were washed with saturated aqueous NH4Cl and water, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash chromatography (5 to 60% EtOAc-hexanes gradient) gave (E)-2-(3-(3-(2-hydroxystyryl)phenyl)propyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione as a light yellow foam. Yield (0.165 g, 43%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.69 (s, 1H), 7.78-7.84 (m, 4H), 7.53 (dd, J=8.0, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.28-7.38 (m, 3H), 7.22 (t, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.05-7.14 (m, 3H), 6.76-6.86 (m, 2H), 3.61 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 2H), 2.63 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 1.89-1.97 (m, 2H).
