Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 250 mL round bottom flask was charged 6-(bromomethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,1,4,4-tetramethylnaphthalene 8 (2.00 g, 7.11 mmol) in solution in 11 mL of dichloromethane. Triphenylphosphine (2.15 g, 8.18 mmol) was added via spatula at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at RT (16 h). Diethyl ether (200 mL) was added and the white precipitate formed was filtered and washed copiously with diethyl ether and dried in vacuo over P2O5. (5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphtalenyl)-methyl-triphenylphosphonium bromide 9 (3.40 g, 88% yield) was obtained as a white solid.
