Triphenylphosphine → (5R)-5-[(E)-2-[3-chloro-4-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yloxy)phenyl]-2-(5-cyclopropyl-6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)ethenyl]pyrrolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tetrahydro-4-pyranol (127 mg), a 2.2 M solution of diisopropyl azodicarboxylate in toluene (0.655 mL) and triphenylphosphine (326 mg) were added to a solution of (5R)-5-[(E)-2-(3-chloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(5-cyclopropyl-6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)ethenyl]pyrrolidin-2-one (160 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (3 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for four hours. The reaction solution was concentrated, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1→0:1) to give (5R)-5-[(E)-2-[3-chloro-4-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yloxy)phenyl]-2-(5-cyclopropyl-6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)ethenyl]pyrrolidin-2-one as a colorless amorphous (120 mg, 61%).
