Triphenylphosphine → Methyl 4-(3-hydroxypropyl)pyridine-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a dry flask were added intermediate 11b prepared in general method P (2.98 g, 11.33 mmol, 1 equiv), triphenylphosphine (238 mg, 0.91 mmol, 0.08 equiv), copper(I) iodide (172.6 mg, 0.91 mmol, 0.08 equiv), palladium acetate (101.6 mg, 0.45 mmol, 0.04 equiv) and triethylamine (42 mL). The mixture was deaerated with nitrogen, followed by addition of 3,3-Diethoxy-propyne (Aldrich) (2.90 g, 22.7 mmol, 2 equiv). The mixture was stirred at rt for 3 h. The solvent was removed under vacuum to give a dark residue. The residue was purified by chromatography to give a yellow oil 11c (R9′=3,3-Diethoxy-prop-1-ynyl) (3 g, 100%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.69 (dd, J=0.8, 5.0, 1), 8.15 (d, J=0.8, 1.4, 1), 7.49 (dd, J=1.7, 5.0, 1), 5.48 (s, 1), 3.99 (s, 3), 3.82-3.73 (m, 2), 3.71-3.62 (m, 2), 1.26 (t, J=7.2, 6). MS (ESPOS): 264.6 [M+H]+.
