Abstract

As applications of the versatile Wittig reaction3f4 are directed toward the synthesis of more complex olefins, the requisite phosphonium salts must frequently incorporate labile functional groups and stereochemically sensitive center^.^^^^ The presence of sensitive functionality may limit the use of standard elevated temperature conditions (80-140" C) for salt formation3p4 and, therefore, provide impetus for developing a new mild method for ...
