- no products at room temperature (see Table 1) presumably due to the low solubility of Cs2CO3 in dioxane. They also provided a single example of a Mitsunobu reaction utilizing n-pentanol, dibutyl azodicarboxylate (DBAD), and PPh3. Therefore, there is still a great need to develop an operationally

To explore the possibility of N2-selectivity, we hypothesized that the phosphine intermediate of a Mitsunobu reaction could provide chelation control, directing alkylation to the indazole N2-atom while using identical alcohols as described above.

- Cham–Lam reactions [23][24][25][26]. However, it has been described that a Mitsunobu reaction of the seco-acid was particularly prone to an SN1 reaction, once the activated allylic alcohol yields an oxyphosphonium ion intermediate due to the conjugation to electron-rich aromatic ring, requiring some
- , and the formal synthesis of 2 was achieved after 8 steps with an overall yield of 4.5%. Rychnovsky and Hwang hypothesized that the low yields from the Mitsunobu reaction in the previous synthesis of compound 2 were linked to the instability of the allylic oxyphosphonium ion formed with intermediates

Results and Discussion The introduction of the chiral alkyl moiety based on (S)-2-methylbutan-1-ol into the starting calix[4]arene 1 was carried out using recently described Mitsunobu
- reaction conditions [44]. Refluxing the reaction mixture of PPh3, DIAD, and toluene for two days provided the distally dialkylated calixarene 2 in 64% yield (Scheme 1). Compound 2 was regioselectively ipso-nitrated with 30 equiv of 65% aq HNO3 in an AcOH and CH2Cl2 mixture, making use of the higher

- of the C-6 stereocenter (Scheme 13) [15][16]. The administration of the vinyllithium reagent, generated from the addition of the vinyl bromide 80 to 79, gave a separable 1:1 mixture of the diastereomeric alcohols 81a and 81b. The undesired stereoisomer 81b was converted into 81a by a Mitsunobu
- reaction/hydrolysis sequence. The use of the dithiane 80 protecting group was crucial for the following steps. Initial attempts of using a dioxolane protecting group for the C-1 ketone (instead of dithiane) led to an insurmountable difficulty of the selective hydrolysis of the dioxolane and acetonide

- nucleophile [22][23]. Attempts to substitute the alcohol functionality of 12 via displacement of the derived mesylate with NaN3 failed, similar to previously reported difficulties by Trost et al. [24]. The benzamide substituent was therefore introduced via Mitsunobu reaction with N-Boc-protected ortho
- -propanediol (16), which was selectively monoprotected in high yield as TBS ether (Scheme 3) [25]. The remaining alcohol was then substituted for a phthalimide via Mitsunobu reaction. Phthalimide deprotection, acylation with benzoic acid, and removal of the silyl protecting group furnished 10. Fragments 9 and
- -chlorobenzamide substituent would then be introduced in a later stage. We chose to protect alcohol 12 as TBS ether and used the derived nosyl-protected fragment 23 as the coupling partner (Scheme 5). Fragments 23 and 10 were coupled via Mitsunobu reaction, yielding 24 in 49% yield (Scheme 6). Fortunately, ring
