22. x (3) (4.00 g, 14.28 mmol) and tricyclohexylphosphine (Strem, 97% pure, 8.46 g, 29.26 mmol) were placed in a 500 mL high-pressure system equipped with a pressure gauge. To this system, 200 mL of degassed sec-butyl alcohol and triethylamine (1.99 mL, 14.28 mmol) were added. After purging with hydrogen, the system was pressurized with 1.5 atm of hydrogen and heated to 80 °C for a total of 20 h, repressurizing as needed. Generation of (1) can also be accomplished in a suitably-sized, thickwalled Teflon-valved Straus flask. The air-sensitive orange solid was isolated by cooling the system to room temperature, adding a volume (200 mL) of degassed methanol to ensure complete precipitation before filtering, washing with methanol (3 × 50 mL), and drying in vacuo to give 9.26 g, 94% of 1.
