Synthetic potential of the reaction of allylic phosphonium ylides with α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086106

The reaction of triphenylphosphonium-2-propenylide (14) with mesityl oxide (9) is shown to proceed via initial Michael addition followed by trans ylidation and an intramolecular Wittig condensation to yield 1,5,5-trimethyl- 1,3-cyclohexadiene (10) as the reaction product.
