Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Dissolve (2-iodo-ethyl)-cyclohexane (3.0 g, 12.5 mmol) in toluene, add triphenyl-phosphine (3.1 g, 11.9 mmol) and stir at 80° C. over night. Cool the reaction mixture down to room temperature and isolate the product by filtration as a white solid (4.75 g). 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ=0.78-0.96 (m, 2H), 1.01-1.34 (m, 3H), 1.44-1.74 (m, 2H), 3.56-3.70 (m, 2H), 7.66-7.90 (m, 15H).
