Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of carbon tetrabromide (16.7 g) in methylene chloride (35 ml) was added triphenylphosphine (26.0 g) in methylene chloride (35 ml) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. To the mixture was added a solution of 1-(3-formylpropyl)-3-methoxybenzene (3.00 g)in methylene chloride (20 ml) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 30 min at 0° C. To the mixture was added gradually n-hexane and the mixture was filtered to remove triphenylphosphineoxide. The filtrate was washed with water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, successively, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=24:1) to give the title compound (5.33 g) having the following physical data.
