Procedure

A 1000 mL three-neck, round-bottom flask was equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a pressure-compensating dropping funnel, and a reflux condenser. A nitrogen gas flow adapter with overpressure valve was attached on top of the reflux condenser. A slight nitrogen flow guaranteed an inert gas atmosphere in the apparatus. The flask was charged with 181 g triphenylphosphine (690 mmol) and 160 mL acetonitrile (HPLC grade). The white suspension was cooled in an ice bath for 15 minutes. While stirring, dropwise addition of 101.5 g bromine (635 mmol) took place within 40 minutes. After bromine addition, the ice bath was removed. 124 g of 3,5-di-tertbutylphenol (601 mmol) and 140 mL acetonitrile were added in one portion. The orange/white suspension converted into an orange solution upon heating. The mechanical stirrer was replaced by an egg-shape stir bar. The solution was stirred at gentle reflux temperature for three hours.
