Triphenylphosphine → [(3R)-3-[(2,5-Dichlorophenyl)thio]-3-(2-thiazolyl)propyl]carbamic acid 1,1-dimethylethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,5-dichlorothiophenol (179 mg, 1 mmol), [(3S)-3-hydroxy-3-(2-thiazolyl)propyl]carbamic acid 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (258 mg, 1 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (315 mg, 1.2 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) at 0° C. under nitrogen, was added diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (243 mg, 0.24 ml, 1.2 mmol) dropwise over 5 minutes. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h, then concentrated in vacuo to leave a crude yellow gum. Flash chromatography (silica, 15% ethyl acetate in isohexane) afforded a clear oil (85 mg, 21%).
