Triphenylphosphine → HCID 22935213, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 300 ml of acetonitrile was dissolved 14.7 g (65 mmol) of (5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolin-2-yl)methyl bromide, and 25.5 g (97.5 mmol) of triphenylphosphine was added to the mixture and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. After cooling the mixture with an ice-bath, precipitates were collected by filtration and washed with diethyl ether to obtain (5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolin-2-yl)methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide as pale yellowish solid. Then, the obtained solid was dissolved in 250 ml of chloroform, 9.50 g (117 mmol) of 37% formaldehyde and 8.10 g (76 mmol) of an aqueous sodium carbonate solution (20 ml) were added to the solution and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours.
