Triphenylphosphine → N-Methyl-N-(1-phenylbut-3-enyl)benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

DIAD (9.0 mL, 45.9 mmol) was added dropwise over 10 min to a stirred solution of 1-phenyl-3-buten-1-ol (4.0 g, 27.0 mmol), PPh3 (10.6 g, 40.5 mmol) and N-methylphenylsulfonamide (6.0 g, 35.0 mmol) in THF (200 mL) under N2 and the resulting mixture was stirred at RT for 20 h. H2O (200 mL) and Et2O (200 mL) were added and separated. The organics were washed with brine (150 mL) and concentrated under reduced pressure while loading on to MgSO4. The mixture was then purified by column chromatography on silica eluting with 3% Et2O/iso-hexanes to yield the sulfonamide (6.45 g, 79%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 360 MHz) δ 7.78 (2H, d, J=7.8 Hz), 7.53 (1H, t, J=7.8 Hz), 7.44 (2H, t, J=7.8 Hz), 7.30–7.18 (5H, m), 5.67–5.52 (1H, m), 5.20 (1H, t, J=7.8 Hz), 5.02 (1H, dd, J=17.1, 1.5 Hz), 4.93 (1H, dd, J=10.2, 1.3 Hz), 2.70 (1H, app. quintet, J=7.1 Hz), 2.65 (3H, s), 2.44 (1H, app. quintet, J=7.1 Hz).
