DBP YLDES: WITTIG REAGENTS FOR SYNTHESIS OF E-ALKENES FROM ALDEHYDES
Vedejs, E.,Marth, C.
, p. 3445 - 3448 (1987)
Phosphorus yldes based on the dibenzophosphole (DPP) ring system convert aldehydes into trans-disubstituted oxaphosphetanes with good to excellent selectivity.Decomposition at 70-110 deg C affords alkenes with E:Z rations from 6:1 to > 100:1.
Stereochemistry of Carbenic 1,2-Vinyl Shifts

Various 1-phenylbut-3-enylidenes, (Ph)CCR2CH=CHR', were generated thermally and photolytically from tosylhydrazone (diazo) precursors. 1,2-Vinyl shifts, leading to 1,3-dienes, R′CH=CHC(Ph)=CR2, were found to predominate over γ-C-H insertion (R = Me) and to compete with 1,2-H shifts (R = H). Intramolecular addition to the double bond was detected in the case of R = R′ = Me. The resulting bicyclobutane is thermally stable and does not mediate the vinyl shift. Stereospecific migration of 1-propenyl groups (R′ = Me), with retention of configuration, was observed on thermolysis and direct photolysis of appropriate substrates. These data exclude the intervention of a triplet diradical and point to vinyl migration in the singlet manifold. Benzophenone-sensitized generation of the carbenes led to partial stereomutation but did not provide conclusive evidence for a triplet rearrangement (isomerization of the diene products could not be avoided under these conditions).
A Bridged Tetrahydrophosphole Ylide Derived from 9-Phenylphosphabicyclononane: A Reagent for E-Selective Wittig Reactions

, p. 1985 - 1986 (2007/10/02)
The bicyclic ylide 4 reacts with aldehydes to afford the E-alkenes.Selectivity is 94 - 6percent E for unbranched aldehydes, but the selectivity decreases with increasing α-branching.Ylide 4 is the first E-selective, nonstabilized ylide that allows efficient utilization of the P-alkyl substituent.
Mechanism of the Wittig Reaction: The Role of Substituents at Phosphorus
Vedejs, E.,Marth, C. F.
, p. 3948 - 3958 (2007/10/02)
The variation in Wittig reaction stereochemistry is attributed to a dominant kinetic control in nearly all cases.Formation of cis or trans oxaphosphetanes is the decisive step, and this occurs by an asynchronous cycloaddition.An interplay of 1, 2 and 1, 3
Substituent Effects and the Wittig Mechanism: The Case for Stereospecific Oxaphosphetane Decomposition
Vedejs, E.,Marth, C. F.,Ruggeri, R.
, p. 3940 - 3948 (2007/10/02)
A search for reversible Wittig reactions of the ylides a-d has been made by using the method of independent oxaphosphetane generation.Four pairs of diastereomeric oxaphosphetanes have been synthesized, and those corresponding to the Wittig reactions of b-
