Procedure

A suspension of (iodomethyl)triphenylphosphonium iodide (0.530 g, 1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3 mL) was treated dropwise at room temperature with sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1 mL, 1M solution in THF, 1 mmol) for 2-3 minutes. The solution was then cooled to −78° C. and a solution of 2-ethyl-2-methyl-butanal (0.100 g, 0.88 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise. The cooling bath was removed and stirring continued at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was diluted with hexane, filtered and evaporated. The crude compound was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane) and afforded the title compound (0.130 g, 62%).
