Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of (bromomethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (3.06 g, 7.01 mmol) in 30 mL of THF, potassium tert-butoxide (0.78 g, 7.01 mmol) was added portionwise at −75° C. under argon. After completion of the addition, the mixture was stirred for 1 h a −75° C. Then, a solution of 3-methylquinoline-2-carbaldehyde (1 g, 5.84 mmol) in 20 mL of THF was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 h at −75° C. and then allowed to warm up to room temperature overnight. For work-up, the reaction mixture was diluted with diisopropyl ether (1:1) and the precipitate formed was sucked off. The filtrate was concentrated and triturated in diisopropyl ether. The precipitate was sucked off. The filtrate was purified by column chromatography (normal phase, eluent: cyclohexane/EA) to give 492.5 mg (34%) of the title compound as yellow solid. LC-MS: m/e 248.0 (M+H)+; Rt 1.561 min.
