Sodium Iodide → [2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4-methylthiazol-5-yl]methyltriphenylphosphonium iodide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triphenylphosphine (1.15 g, 4.26 mmol) and sodium iodide (580 mg, 3.87 mmol) were added to 5-chloromethyl-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methylthiazole (1.00 g, 3.87 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 hours while being stirred. Subsequently, the crystallized powdery product was collected by filtration and washed with hexane to give 2.43 g (quant.) of the desired compound as a colorless powder.
