The mixture was chilled to 10° C. and [1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane]nickel(II) chloride (0.1 g, 0.2 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was warmed gradually to reflux. As the reaction progressed the clear solution became turbid from the precipitation of magnesium bromide by-product. After 4 hours at reflux the reaction mixture was quenched in chilled 5% aqueous HCl (200 mL). Additional diethyl ether (100 mL) was added and the organic phase was separated, water washed, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of diethyl ether followed by vacuum distillation (90° C./0.5 mm Hg) gave 5-phenylinene (8.4 g, 97% purity by GC) as pale yellow crysta1s. 1HNMR (CD2Cl2, 500 MHz) 50:50 mixture of isomers; δ7.72 (s, 1H); 7.62 (m, 5H); 7.52 (t, J=8 Hz, 2H); 7.43 (m, 6H); 7.32 (m, 2H); 6.93 (m, 2H); 6.61 (m, 2H); 3.47 (s, 2H); 3.44 (s, 2H).
