Preparation 36 1-bromo-3-(prop-1-en-2-yl)benzene Methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (35.7 g, 97.9 mmoles, 1.3 equiv) is suspended in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) and cooled to 0° C. N-Butyllithium (2.5M in hexanes, 27.0 g, 97.7 mmoles, 39.2 mL, 1.3 equiv) is added slowly to the mixture via an addition funnel. The resulting solution is stirred for 1 h at 0° C. A solution of 3-bromoacetophenone (15.0 g, 75.3 mmoles, 10.0 mL, 1.0 equiv) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) is added slowly via an addition funnel. The resulting mixture is warmed to room temperature and stirred for 3 h. The reaction is cooled to 0° C. and quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The layers are partitioned in a separatory funnel and the aqueous phase is extracted with hexanes. The combined organic phase is dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and allowed to stand overnight at room temperature. The organic phase is decanted from a precipitate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting solid is diluted with hexanes and filtered. The precipitate is washed with hexanes. The filtrate is concentrated and the resulting mixture is purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (hexanes) to give the title compound (83% yield): 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 7.59 (t, 1H, J=1.72 Hz), 7.40-7.36 (m, 2H), 7.18 (t, 1H, J=8 Hz), 5.36 (s, 1H), 5.12-5.10 (m, 1H), 2.13-3.11 (m, 3H). |

General procedure for the synthesis of alkenes by Wittig reaction
General procedure: Under N2, a two-neck 100 mL round-bottom flask was charged with Wittig reagent (13 mmol) and dry THF (10.0 mL). Then the suspension was cooled to 0 °C and sodium hexamethyldisilazide (1 M THF solution, 13.0 mL, 13 mmol) was added into the reaction mixture. The resulting solution was stirred for 1 h at 0 °C. Next, a THF (6.0 mL) solution of ketone (10 mmol) was added at 0 and stirred at room temperature overnight. Finally H2O was added into the reaction mixture, and thereaction mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with H2O, dried (Na2SO4), and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel to afford alkenes as a product. 1-bromo-3-(prop-1-en-2-yl)benzene (2b) 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, rt): δ 7.60 (t, 1H, J = 2.0 Hz), 7.41-7.37 (m, 2H), 7.20 (t, 1H, J = 7.5 Hz), 5.37 (s, 1H), 5.13 (s, 1 H), 2.13 (s, 3H). Spectral data was in agreement with the values reported in the literature.[2] |

2.2 One typical example for the preparation of alkenes.
General procedure: To a suspension of tBuOK (12 mmol, 1.2 equiv.) in anhydrous THF (20 mL) was added MePPh3Br (12 mmol, 1.2 equiv.) under argon atmosphere. The suspension was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Then corresponding ketone (10 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 h . Then the mixture was filtered through a short pad of silica gel, which was subsequently washed with ethyl acetate (200 mL). After evaporation of the organic solvent, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to provide alkene 1i (1.31g, 90%). |
