Reaction Steps

1,3-Dibromopropane (20.0 g, 100 mmol) and triethylamine (5.06 g, 50 mmol) were mixed in dry toluene (50 ml). This solution was heated at 100° C. under nitrogen atmosphere for 4 h, during which time a thick white solid precipitated. The mixture was then cooled and the solid collected by filtration, washed with toluene and ether and dried under vacuum at 50° C. to give the titled compound 5.0 g (36%).
