Wittig Olefination Using Phosphonium Ion-Pair Reagents Incorporating an Endogenous Base
Vetter, Anna C.,Gilheany, Declan G.,Nikitin, Kirill
, p. 1457 - 1462 (2021)
Despite common perception, the use of strong bases in Wittig chemistry is utterly unnecessary: we report a series of novel ion-pair phosphonium carboxylate reagents which are essentially "storable ylides". These reagents are straightforwardly prepared in excellent yields, and their fluxional nature permits clean olefination of a broad range of aldehydes and even hemiacetals.
Iminophoshorane-mediated synthesis of the alkaloid cryptotackieine
Molina,Fresneda,Delgado
, p. 326 - 329 (2007/10/03)
A new synthesis of the alkaloid cryptotackieine based on the stepwise formation of the pyridine and indole ring is described. The key step, formation of the appropriate 3-arylquinoline, involves a Staudinger/aza- Wittig/electrocyclic ring-closure process.
