Pyridine → 4-(1,3-Diphenyl-1-propoxy)benzyl bromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice cold solution of 6-5 (1.19 g, 6.0 mmol) in acetonitrile (15 ml) was added pyridine (0.76 g, 9.6 mmol) and then triphenylphosphine dibromide (3.29 g, 7.8 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ice bath temperature for 1/4 hr under N2 and at ambient temperature for 1 &3/4 hrs and then was filtered. Concentration of the filtrate in vacuo gave a crude oil. The pure product 6-6 was obtained after three silica gel chromatographic separations.
