Reaction Steps

A mixture of 103 g. of 5-bromoval eric acid and 152 g. of triphenylphosphine in 400 ml. of acetonitrile is refluxed for 48 hours, cooled, diluted with 100 ml. of benzene and allowed to crystallize. The crystals are filtered, washed with benzene and ether, to yield colorless material, m.p. 207°-209° C.
