The products and stereochemistry of the reaction of the benzyltriphenyl arsonium ylide with benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde both in the presence of lithium salts and under salt-free conditions are studied by 1H NMR at 360 MHz.The stereochemistry is discussed in view of recent developments in the mechanistic interpretation of the Wittig and Johnson-Corey-Chaykovsky reaction.
