Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Triphenylphosphine (2.8 g) was added to a Tol (50 ml) solution of 3-cyanobenzyl bromide (2.0 g), followed by stirring at 80° C. for 5 hours. This was cooled to room temperature, and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration, and washed with Tol. This was dried under reduced pressure to obtain (3-cyanobenzyl)(triphenyl)phosphonium bromide (3.4 g).
