Procedure

To a solution of 41 parts of 1,6-dichloro-2-hexanone in 400 parts by volume of benzene is added 44 parts of triphenylphosphine and the resulting solution is stored, in the absence of light for about 6 days, at the end of which time the crude product has crystallized from the mixture. That material is collected by filtration and is purified by recrystallization from acetone to afford (6-chloro-2-oxohexyl)triphenylphosphonium chloride. This product is characterized by 60-MHz nuclear magnetic resonance peaks in CDCl3 (deuterated chloroform) at 100 cps (multiplet), 140 cps (multiplet), 180 cps (multiplet), 208 cps (multiplet) and 357 cps (doublet, J≃12) in addition to the aromatic protons. The C1 protons at 375 cps exchange with D2O (deuterated water).
