Reaction Steps

The 4-ethoxy-2,3,6-trimethyl-benzyl-triphenylphosphonium chloride employed as the starting material is prepared by the procedure described in Example 18 by alkylation of 2,3,5-trimethylphenol to give 2,3,5-trimethyl-phenyl ethyl ether (melting point 93°-95° C), by haloformylation of the ether obtained to give 4-ethoxy-2,3,6-trimethyl-benzyl chloride (melting point 63°-64° C.) and by reaction of the latter compound with triphenylphosphine.
