Triphenylphosphine → (6-Cyano-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl)methyltriphenylphosphonium p-toluenesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

24.00 g of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-6-[(p-toluenesulfonyl)oxymethyl]-2-naphthalenecarbonitrile and 18.38 g of triphenylphosphine were mixed, and then heated at a temperature of 130° to 140° C. for 15 hours in a sealed container. The resulting reaction product was crystallized from an acetone/n-hexane mixture to obtain 23.3 g of the title compound in the form of light yellow powder.
