TLDR
In this article, a reagent formed by combining diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) and triphenylphosphine (TPP) could be utilized in the intermolecular dehydration between an alcohol and various acidic components such as carboxylic acids, phosphoric diesters, imides, and active methylene compounds.
Abstract
The reagent formed by combining diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) and triphenylphosphine (TPP) could be utilized in the intermolecular dehydration between an alcohol and various acidic components such as carboxylic acids, phosphoric diesters, imides, and active methylene compounds. By the use of DEAD and TPP, diols and hydroxy acids gave cyclic ethers and lactones, respectively. The reaction of nucleosides with DEAD and TPP afforded triphenylphosphoranylnucleosides. Alcohols reacted with 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-nitrophenol in the presence of DEAD and TPP to give aci-nitroesters which converted into the corresponding carbonyl compounds.
