Triphenylphosphine → HCID 58071887, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

8 g 3-Methoxy-4-hydroxy-benzonitrile, 28.1 g triphenylphosphine and 5.48 g tetrahydro-4H-pyran-4-ol was suspended in 1 L tetrahydrofuran at 0° C. before 24.7 g di-tert-butylazodicarboxylate (DBAD) was added over 30 min. The reaction was warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for 2 d. After this time, the reaction was diluted with water and ethyl acetate. The organic phase was separated and then it was washed with 1N sodium hydroxide, water and saturated sodium chloride, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified on silica gel chromatography (SiO2: heptane/ethyl acetate 8:2 to 7:3) to provide the title compound.
