Participants

Reaction Steps

15.5 g of phosphorus tribromide are slowly added to a solution, cooled to -30° C., of 22 g of 3,3-dicyclopropylpropanol (obtained by reduction of the compound described in preparation A in the presence of lithium aluminum hydride) in 85 ml of anhydrous ether, and the mixture is poured, after returning to room temperature, into 7 ml of ice cold water. The organic phase is then washed with a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate and then with water until neutral and finally dried and evaporated.
