The reaction of vinyltri-n-butylphosphonium salts, aldehydes, and sodiophthalimide in THF gave good yields of the allylic phthalimides with high E stereoselectivity (75-100percent).The use of the vinyltriphenylphosphonium salts (Schweizer reaction) gave the allyl phthalimide with the Z isomer predominating.A study of the phthalimide cation and the effect of added lithium salt showed some reversal in the olefin geometry but in general the selectivity was only 3:1
