Abstract

The development of tandem preparative procedures, where a number of transformations are carried out in a one-pot process, offers significant advantages such as a reduction in the number of synthetic steps and the subsequent improvement in efficiency. [1] There has been considerable recent attention in the development of such tandem sequences, [2] in particular for the direct transformation of alcohols to olefins using Wittig chemistry. The Wittig reaction remains ...
