A convenient and environmentally-friendly synthetic method of olefins via deacylation reaction is described. The reaction gives olefins by condensation of aldehydes with a variety of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate at room temperature in high yields (70-90%) in one step. The synthetic potential of this strategy can be used as an alternative procedure to the Wittig, Wittig-Horner reactions. The stereochemistry of the resulted olefins was determined by NOE experiment with correct radio frequency and X-ray analysis. The E/Z selectivity of the deacylation reaction depends on the α-substituents of the 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.
