Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.52 g (5.42 mmol) of N-[2-t-butyl-5-bromomethylphenyl]-2-(9H-xanthen-9-yl)acetamide [prepared as described in step (i) above] and 1.58 g (6.02 mmol) of triphenylphosphine in 25 ml of toluene was heated under reflux for 5 hours whilst vigorously stirring. At the end of this time, it was cooled to room temperature, and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and pulverized. This precipitate was then washed with toluene and with hexane, in that order, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, to give 3.71 g (yield 90%) of the title compound as a powder.
