Triphenylphosphine → 1-t-Butoxycarbonyl-3-{2-[2-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]phenoxy}piperidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following a procedure similar to that described in Example 36(a), 1.50 g of 2-[2-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]phenol (prepared as described in Preparation 20), 2.64 g of 1-t-butoxycarbonyl-3-hydroxypiperidine, 3.44 g of triphenylphosphine and 2.29 g of diethyl azodicarboxylate were reacted. The mixture was then worked up as described in Example 36(a), and the crude product thus obtained was purified by column chromatography through silica gel, using a 7:1 by volume mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate as the eluent, to give 1.68 g (yield 62%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
