The Wittig reaction of stable ylide with aldehyde under microwave irradiation: Synthesis of ethyl cinnamates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919508011778

The Wittig reaction of stable ylide, triphenyl-carbethoxymethylene phoshorane, with aldehydes was performed within 5-6 minutes under microwave irradiation. Remarkable rate enhancements and dramatic reductions of reaction times have been observed. Thus, the Wittig reaction of stable ylide with aldehyde is optimized.
