Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of p-hydroxymethylbenzyl vinylbenzyl ether (39.2 g, 0.16 molar), triphenylphosphine (46.0 g, 0.18 molar), and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol (0.5 g) in carbon tetrachloride (550 ml) was heated at reflux for 2 hours and then stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The next day the reaction was filtered and the solvent removed on a rotary evaporator. To the residue was added methanol (300 ml) to precipitate a white solid: m.p. of 110°-112° C. Yield of 83%. Analysis calculated for C16H15C10: C, 74.27, H, 5.84. Found: C, 73.15, H, 5.84. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 4.5)s. 2H, CH2Cl), 5.0 (s, 2H, CH2O), 5.2+5.75 (AB quartet, 2H, CH2 =), 6.75 (m, 1H, CH=), 6.9+7.3 (AB quartet, 4H, ##STR22## 7.4 (s, 4H, ##STR23##
