The synthesis of a range of -hydroxymethylated enones has been achieved using the Villiras modification of the HornerWadsworthEmmons (HWE) reaction. Scope, limitations, and mechanistic aspects of this reaction were investigated using a combination of synthetic and computational studies. These investigations support a SchlosserCorey type reaction mechanism that is balanced between two pathways with the outcome influenced by the steric environment of the substrate. CSIRO 2009.
