Triphenylphosphonium ylidic keto diesters with a nonylidic ester group, Ph3PC(CO2CH2CH3)COCO 2CH2CH3, 1, and Ph3PC(CO 2CH2CH3)COCH2CO2CH 2CH3, 2, have the keto group syn and the ylidic ester acyl group anti to phosphorus. Conformation of 2 is assigned by X-ray crystallography, while conformations of 1 and 2 are based on 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and comparisons of acyl stretching frequencies with predicted values from HF and DFT methods. Thermolyses of 1 and 2 gave the expected acetylene derivatives in high yield, consistent with the syn keto conformation and in agreement with earlier observations of thermolyses of stabilized phosphonium ylides. Results from the X-ray spectrum of 2 confirm the proposed structure.

Sixteen examples of the previously unknown trioxo ylides 7 have been prepared by acylation of stabilized phosphorus ylides 8 with α-oxo acid chlorides 9.Extrusion of Ph3PO from these is readily achieved using FVP at 500 deg C in most cases, to afford the diacylalkynes 10 in moderate yield.Three examples failed to give the expected alkynes and the nature of the processes involved in these cases is certain.Fully assigned 13C NMR spectra are presented for the ylides and an unexpected pattern is observed in the value of JP-C for the three carbonyl carbons depending on the nature of the substituents present.There is some correlation between the value of 2JP-C for the central carbonyl carbon and the success of the pyrolysis although this is not complete.The method has been used to prepare a specifically 13C labelled acetylenic diester 14.
