Reaction Steps

Hexadecyltributyl phosphonium hectorite (0.050 mmol) was mixed with 2.0 ml of water containing dissolved sodium iodide (0.264 mmol) and sodium thiosulfate (32.0 mmol) and toluene (2.0 ml) containing dissolved 1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenyl ethane (1.0 mml). After vigorous stirring for a reaction time of 7 hr at 90° C. the emulsion was broken by centrifugation, and 1,2-diphenylethylene was obtained in 98.0% yield.
