Reaction Steps

A 5 liter reactor was obtained, and to this reactor was charged 655 g of triphenylphosphine, 1050 ml of methyl alcohol, and 422.5 g of para-isopropylbenzyl chloride. The reactants were heated to reflux temperature, approximately 65°-67° C., and refluxed for about 5 hours. There was obtained 1856.9 g of a 50% solution of para-isopropylbenzyl triphenylphosphonium chloride in methyl alcohol.
