Provided is an industrially safe and useful azodicarboxylic acid bis(2-alkoxyethyl) ester compound that is useful for the Mitsunobu reaction in which it is used in combination with a phosphorus compound to carry out a dehydration condensation reaction, and also useful as an oxidizing agent, and a starting material for various synthetic processes. Also provided are a production intermediate of the above-described compound, and methods for producing these compounds. An azodicarboxylic acid bis(2-alkoxyethyl) ester compound represented by formula (1); wherein A represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.

DMEAD: a new dialkyl azodicarboxylate for the Mitsunobu reaction

Di-2-methoxyethyl azodicarboxylate (DMEAD) is prepared in 65% yield in two steps as a crystalline solid. Use of DMEAD in the Mitsunobu reaction of a variety of alcohols with pronucleophiles results in good yields of the products under sufficient stereospecificity of inversion, as conventional diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) does. Isolation of the product is, however, much easier with DMEAD than that with DIAD, because the hydrazine produced from DMEAD is highly hydrophilic and is completely separable by a simple extraction into neutral water. Purification of the organic layer, after separation of the other by-product, triphenylphosphane oxide, by filtration, easily provides high purity of the product in a good yield. Concentration of the water layer yields the hydrazine, which can be reused for the preparation of DMEAD. One-step removal of the two by-products by the aqueous extraction was also possible when trimethylphosphane and DMEAD were employed.

Di-2-methoxyethyl azodicarboxylate (DMEAD): An inexpensive and separation-friendly alternative reagent for the mitsunobu reaction

Di-2-methoxyethyl azodicarboxylate (DMEAD) was prepared as an alternative of DEAD or DIAD for the Mitsunobu reaction. Removal of the hydrazinedicarboxylate generated from DMEAD becomes much easier owing to the polar and water-soluble property. Copyright
