Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-pyridylpropanol (2-2) (ICN Biochemicals, 14.2 g, 0.1 mol) in THF (200 mL) was treated successively with triphenylphosphine (47.2 g, 0.18 mol) and carbontetrachloride (17.4 mL, 0.18 mol) and stirred for 24 h. The reaction was filtered and the solids washed with Et2O. The filtrate was concentrated to give a yellow solid which was triturated with Et2O. Chromatography (silica gel, 30% EtOAc/Hexanes) gave 2-3 as yellow oil.
