(Figure Presented) When the substrates (ArO)2P(O)CH 2CO2...CHO (Ar = Ph, o-tBuPh) were added to a THF solution containing 3 equiv of NaH at 0 °C or Nal DBU at rt over 1-10 h, the intramolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction proceeded efficiently to give the 12-18-membered-ring lactones in 69-93% yields with 89-100% Z selectivity. On the other hand, (EtO)2P(O)CH2CO2-GHO gave the 13-18-membered-ring lactones in 52-82% yields with 89-99% E selectivity using LiCI-DBU in MeCN or THF.
