A suspension of benzyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (3.20 g, 7.38 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) in THF (14 mL), was cooled to 0° C. After adding n-BuLi (1.6 M in hexanes, 4.6 mL, 7.38 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) at 0° C., the red suspension was stirred at 65° C. for 1 h. The mixture was re-cooled to 0° C., 2-methylundecanal (2.04 g, 11.1 mmol, 1.5 equiv.) in THF (5 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 65° C. for 18 h. After addition of H2O, the aqueous layer was extracted with cyclohexane (2×), the combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on SiO2 (cyclohexane) to yield 1.45 g (76%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
