A solution of 3,3-bis(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-2-(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2-propenal (4.5 g, 13.0 mmoles) and triphenylphosphoranylidene acetaldehyde (4.1 g, 13.0 mmoles) in benzene was heated at reflux temperature for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with 10% (v/v) ethyl acetate in hexane to give 5.9 g of the title compound as an oil. MS (CI): m/e=373 for (M+H)+ ;
