Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-bromobenzyl chloride (20 g, 97 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (25.5 g, 97 mmol) in o-xylene (200 mL) was heated to 140° C. with stirring for 48 hours. The white precipitate was filtered, washed with hexane, and air dried to afford (3-bromo-benzyl)-triphenyl-phosphonium chloride (36.8 g, 95%) as a white crystalline solid. The crude was used in next step without farther purification. MS: m/z 431 (M+H+).
