Triphenylphosphine hydrobromide was found to cleave the benzyl ethers derived from 1Β°, 2Β°alkyl, and aryl alcohols to the corresponding alcohols and benzyltriphenylphosphonium bromide in good yields. Alkene and allyl phosphonium salts were produced from the benzyl ethers with 3Β°alkyl and allyl groups
