A.-S. Wu, X.-G. Li, N. Li and S.-R. Wang

Abstract: The title compound, C₃₁H₂₉N or PhCH₂(Et)NC₆H₄CH=CHCH=CPh₂, was synthesized by the Wittig-Horner reaction between 4-(N-benzyl-N-ethyl)aminobenzaldehyde and the phosphonate carbanion, derived from 1,1-diphenyl-3-chloropropylene and triethyl phosphite by the Arbuzov reaction. The butadiene fragment has a planar transoid conformation.
