Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.61 g of lithium sec-butyltriphenylborate in 50 ml of acetonitrile was added to solution of 5.00 g of bis(p-tert-butylphenyl)phenacylsulfonium hexafluorophosphate in 100 ml of acetonitrile and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, 200 ml of water was added. The resultant precipitate of a yellow oily component was recovered, and 100 ml of dichloromethane was added. The dichloromethane layer was washed with water, dried and concentrated to give 4.32 of bis(p-tert-butylphenyl)phenacylsulfonium-(sec-butyl)triphenylborate.
