I am now getting into trouble in preparing allyl bromide from the corresponding allyl alcohol using NBS/PPh3 condition in CH2Cl2. The estimated b.p. of my bromide should be around 100 oC.

i.e. CH3CH2C(H)=C(H)CH2Br

How could I get rid of the excess PPh3 and O=PPh3, and purify my bromide without significant loss of it??? Or, what's the appropiate workup procedure?
 
Thx a lot!!!

How about distillation?

You have to make sure that all the allyl alcohol is gone though since it boils around 100 degrees too.

Allyl bromide can be a nasty lachrymator and is pretty toxic too.  Be careful.

thx

Distillation is definitively my choice. My problem is that I couldn't get rid of the excess triphenylphosphine and its oxide completely. They dissolve well in n-pentane even I tried to filter via a pad of silica gel. Or, is it not a matter to distill my bromide even in the presence of many solid by-product (phosphine)

The phosphines shouldn't be near as volatile as allyl bromide.  The BP of PPh₃ is 377 degrees.

Charge your crude residue to a silica gel pad. wash with hexane. The product of yours is such a not polar staff. PPh3 or triphenylphosiphine oxide will stay on column for sure. I have done this reaction (Appel type of reaction) many times.
