Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 50.5 g. (0.227 mole) of N-acetyl-5-bromovaleramide and 64.6 g. (0.274 mole) of triphenylphosphine in 250 ml. of xylene was heated at reflux under nitrogen for 4 hours then was let cool to room temperature. The xylene was decanted from the resulting oil which was recyrstallized from methylene chloride:ethyl acetate to afford colorless needles of [4-(acetylaminocarbonyl)butyl]triphenylphosphonium bromide weighing 50.2 g.
