Reaction Steps

The reaction was performed as in Example 87 using sodium hydride (56% dispersion in oil; 9.5 g) dimethylsulfoxide (100 mL), (3-carboxypropyl)triphenylphosphonium chloride (35 g), 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone (23.8 g) and tetrahydrofuran (100 mL). After the usual work up, the crude product was crystallized from ether-hexane to furnish 18.2 g of 5,5-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-4-pentenoic acid, mp 100°-100° C. Anal. Calculated for C17H14F2O2 : C, 70.82; H, 4.89. Found: C, 70.77; H, 5.00.
