Triphenylphosphine → HCID 53920635, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Aminophenethyl alcohol (1.39 g; 10.2 mmole) and 2-ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid ethyl ester (described in Example 20b) (2.42 g; 10.2 mmole) were dissolved in dichloromethane (35 ml) under argon at room temperature. Azodicarbonyl dipiperidine (3.85 g; 15.2 mmole) and thereafter triphenylphosphine (3.20 g; 12.2 mmole) were added. After stirring at room temperature for 1 minute dichloromethane (30 ml) was added and after 21 hours the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. Purification by chromatography on silica gel using heptane:ethyl acetate (3:2) as eluant gave 3.12 g (yield 86%) of 3-{4-[2-(4-aminophenyl)ethoxy]phenyl}-2-ethoxypropanoic acid ethyl ester.
