Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 21 g (41.7 mmol) of [[[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]carbonyl]methyl]triphenylphosphonium bromide in 600 ml of water was treated dropwise with about 50 ml of 1N sodium hydroxide solution up to an alkaline reaction. The reaction mixture was extracted with 500 ml of methylene chloride. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated. There was obtained [[[2-(2-methoxy-ethoxy)ethoxy]carbonyl]methylene]triphenylphosphorane.
