Procedure

Ethyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (24.8 g) is stirred with 100 ml benzene, and 40 ml (1.6 N) butyl lithium in hexane is added over about one-half hour with a water bath used to take up the slight heat of reaction. The mixture (bright orange) is stirred at room temperature for 0.75 hour, and 10.0 g of the 1,1-dimethoxy-3-hexyne-2-one is added dropwise in one-half hour.
