Reaktionsschritte

This compound was synthesized from 4-carboxybutyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (8.87 g, 20 mmol) and p-propoxybenzaldehyde (3.28 g, 20 mmol, synthesized from p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 1-iodopropane) in THF (100 mL) by a Wittig reaction. Crystallization (petroleum ether) afforded the product (3.75 g, 76%) as white crystals (mp, 49-50° C.).
