Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3-allyloxy-phenyl)-methanol (Tetrahedron, 2000, 56(13), 1873-1882) (1.07 g, 6.49 mmol) in THF (7 mls) at 3° C. was added carbon tetrabromide (2.69 g, 8.11 mmol) then triphenylphosphine (2.13 g, 8.11 mmol) in THF (2 mls). The reaction mixture was stirred at 5° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was washed with pentane to give a yellow solid which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with pentane:ethyl acetate, 100:0, to 95:5 to afford the title compound as a pale yellow oil in 24% yield, 350 mg.
