Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-[1,2,4]-triazol-1-yl-benzaldehyde (9.0 g, 52 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (100 mL), were added K2CO3 (10.76 g, 78 mmol) and methyl triphenyl phosphonium bromide (22.2 g, 62.4 mmol) at ambient temperature. The resultant reaction mixture was heated to 70° C. for 18 h. After completion of the reaction (TLC), the reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and filtered and the obtained filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash chromatography (SiO2, 100-200 mesh; 25-30% EtOAc in petroleum ether) to afforded the title compound as a white solid (5.6 g, 63%): ESIMS m/z 172.09 ([M+H]+).
