Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3,5-dimethoxybenzyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (300 mg, 0.6 mM), 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (133 mg, 1.07 mM), catalytic amounts of 18 crown-6 in DCM was added 1.5 mL of 50% solution of NaOH. The reaction was stirred for 5 h and water was added. The water phase was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic phase was combined. The crude product was purified through flash chromatography eluting with hexanes/ethyl acetate (98:2).
