Triphenylphosphine → (7-Methoxy-3-oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-yl)triphenylphosphonium bromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-bromo-4-methoxyisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (122) (3.15 g, 12.96 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (3.40 g, 12.96 mmol) were dissolved THF (50 mL) and heated at reflux over the weekend. The reaction was cooled and filtered to afford the desired material as a white solid (3.50 g, 53.4%); 1H NMR (400.132 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.42 (3H, s), 7.10 (1H, d), 7.22-7.28 (1H, m), 7.47-7.53 (1H, m), 7.59-7.65 (6H, m), 7.74-7.80 (3H, m), 7.91-8.00 (6H, m), 9.80 (1H, s).
