Isopropyltriphenylphosphonium iodide → 4-Bromo-2-chloro-1-(2-methylprop-1-en-1-yl)benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

The crude product of the title compound was synthesized by conducting the similar reaction to that mentioned in Example 23 (23d) using isopropyltriphenylphosphonium iodide (5.4 g, 12.6 mmol), potassium t-butoxide (1.5 g, 13.5 mmol) and 4-bromo-2-chlorobenzaldehyde (2.0 g, 9.0 mmol) that was obtained in Example 24 (24f). Subsequently, the crude product of the title compound thus obtained was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column using a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and hexane (0:10 to 6:94) as the eluent to afford the title compound (2.1 g) in a yield of 94% as a colourless oily product.
