Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of triphenylphosphine (41.6 g, 159 mmol) in dry THF (190 mL) was added CCl4 (59 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and (4-benzyloxy-6-fluoro-3-methyl-naphthalen-2-yl)-methanol (21.5 g, 79.4 mmol) was introduced as a solid at room temperature under nitrogen. The resulting solution was refluxed for 2 hours. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was diluted with water. The resulting mixture was extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. Silica gel column chromatography (100-200 mesh, 5% ethyl acetate in hexanes) provided 1-benzyloxy-3-chloromethyl-7-fluoro-2-methyl-naphthalene (18.5 g, 81%) as an off-white solid.
