Procedure

To a solution of triphenylphosphine (30 g, 0.114 mol) in benzene (200 mL) was added methyl iodide (11 ml, 0.1756 mol) dropwise, and the solution stirred at room temperature for 15 min under a nitrogen atmosphere. The sub-title compound formed as a colourless solid, which was filtered and then dried. Yield: 30 g.
