Reaktionsschritte

5-Chlorosalicylaldehyde (313 mg, 2 mmol) and 4-chlorobenzyltriphenyl-phosphonium chloride (847 mg, 2 mmol) were dissolved in N,N-dimethylfomamide (20 mL). Potassium carbonate (1.382 g, 10 mmol) dissolved in water (10 mL) was added, and the mixture was refluxed for 5 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into 2 N hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. After the organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the residue obtained by evaporation under reduced pressure was purified by chromatography on silica gel (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1) to give the title compound (44.6 mg, 8.4%) as a light gray solid.
