Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4.73 g of 1,4-dimethoxy-2-naphthylmethyl chloride (prepared as described in Preparation 29) and 6.29 g of triphenylphosphine in 50 ml of dry acetonitrile was heated under reflux for 2 hours. At the end of this time, the reaction mixture was freed from the solvent by distillation under reduced pressure, and the resulting crystalline residue was washed with diethyl ether and air-dried, to give 7.36 g of the title compound as a white powder, melting at 244°-246° C. (with decomposition).
