1.2 g of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 2.5 g of (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone-3-yl)triphenylphosphonium bromide and 1.0 ml of triethylamine were heated under reflux in ethanol for two hours. After distilling the ethanol off, the residue was dissolved in chloroform, washed with water followed by a saturated saline solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After distilling the chloroform off, the residue was subjected to column chromatography with the use of silica gel and benzene/acetone and recrystallized from a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane to give 1.0 g of the title compound.
