Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-bromohexanoic acid (18 mmol, 3.50 g) and triphenylphosphine (18 mmol, 4.71 g) in acetonitrile (18 mL) was refluxed for 18 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled down, the off-white solid formed filtered. Flash chromatography over silica gel (EtOAc then MeOH) afforded the product as a white solid (1.08 g, 86%).
