Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of tri-n-butylphosphine (18.9 g, 103.8 mmol) in toluene (50 mL) was added dropwise to a mixture of α,α'-dichloro-m-xylene (7.0 g, 34.6 mmol) in toluene (200 mL) under argon gas. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for several days at room temperature under argon, after which time the tri-n-butylphosphonium chloride salt had crystallized out of solution and TLC examination showed completion of reaction. The white crystals were filtered and washed several times with toluene and hexanes, and then dried. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ0.93 (t, 9H), 1.45 (m, 12H), 2.41 (m, 6H), 4.40 (d, 2H), 4.57 (s, 2H), 7.36 (m, 2H), 7.42 (d, 2H).
