Triphenylphosphine → (6-Bromo-3-oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-yl)triphenylphosphonium bromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3,5-dibromoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (94) (6.2 g, 21.24 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (5.57 g, 21.24 mmol) were heated at reflux in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) overnight. The reaction was cooled and filtered to afford the desired material as a white solid (7.20 g, 71.5% yield); 1H NMR (400.132 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.23 (1H, s), 7.59 (1H, d), 7.72-7.67 (7H, m), 7.92-7.84 (9H, m), 10.20 (1H, s);
