Triphenylphosphine → N-cyclopropyl-N-[1-(2-naphthyl)ethyl]-2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2-naphthyl)ethanol (344 mg), N-cyclopropyl-2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (581 mg) and triphenylphosphine (787 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was added dropwise diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (590 μL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction solution was concentrated, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate=4/1→1/1), and then triturated with diethyl ether-n-hexane (1:1) to give N-cyclopropyl-N-[1-(2-naphthyl)ethyl]-2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide j[REx(1-1)] (499 mg) as a colorless powder.
