Reaction Steps

A solution of (4-iodobutyl)benzene (1.04 g, 4.0 mmol) and Ph3P (1.05 g, 4.0 mmol) in CH3CN (20 mL) was stirred for 48 h and then washed with hexane. The solvent was removed to afford triphenyl(4-phenylbutyl)phosphonium iodide (1.30 g, 62%) as a white foam, which was used in the following step without purification.
