Triphenylphosphine → HCID 86614210, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-(3-amino-phenyl)-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-propan-2-ol (1.30 g), (S)-2-hydroxymethyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.04 g), PPh3 (2.64 g) and molecular sieves 4 Å in THF (100 mL) was added DEAD (1.55 mL) slowly. The reaction was stirred at RT for 4 h and at reflux for overnight. After filtration to remove solids, the filtrate was concentrated and the residue was taken into Et2O. The organic phase was washed with saturated NaHCO3 and brine. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to give a crude compound as very viscous brown oil, which was purified by chromatography through silica gel (500 g, 30% to 50% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford (S)-2-[1-(3-amino-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethyl-ethoxymethyl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a light brown oil.
