Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

75 g (0.8 mol) sec.-butyl phosphine, 900 ml (5.2 mol) octene-1 and 1.8 g (11 millimol) ABIN were placed in a 2-liter flask with stirrer, reflux condenser and dropping funnel, and heated to 80° C. Next, a solution of 6.2 g ABIN in 400 ml octene was added dropwise within 3 hours. The temperature was maintained at 80°-85° C. over a period of 8 hours, and the reaction product was ultimately distilled under reduced pressure. Low boiling matter was removed and 190 g of a liquid colorless product was obtained.
