Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-chloro-3-ethyl-2-heptanone (88.4 g.) and triphenylphosphine (81 g.) in chloroform (100 ml.) was saturated with nitrogen and refluxed under nitrogen overnight. The chloroform was removed in vacuo to give crude 2-oxo-3-ethylheptyltriphenylphosphonium chloride (176.1 g.).
