Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction was carried out following the general procedure described in Example 7. A suspension of 224.4 mg (0.72 mmole) of 3,3-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)2-propenal and 220 mg (0.72 mmole) of triphenylphosphoranylidene acetaldehyde in 38 mL of dry benzene was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The crude reaction mixture was chromatographed on a silica gel column and the purified product thereby obtained was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexanes to give 194 mg (92%) of the title compound; m.p.=152.2-153.7° C.
