Triphenylphosphine → tert-butyl 4-(4-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diethyl azodicarboxylate (14.4 g, 82.7 mmol) was added dropwise over a period of 1 h (exothermic) to a solution of 4-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (6.4 g, 41.4 mmol), 4-hydroxy-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (25.0 g, 124 mmol), and triphenyl phosphine 21.7 g, 82.7 mmol) in THF (500 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature 3 h and concentrated in vacuo. The crude reaction mixture was washed with EtOAc, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash column chromatography (silica, 5:95→15:85 EtOAc:hexanes) provided the title compound as a white solid (6.5 g, 93%). MS: 338 (MH+); HPLC Rf: 6.21 min. (HPLC method 4); HPLC purity: 91%.
