Abstract

For understanding the mechanism involved in the Wittig reaction, it is important to know the factors which influence the stability of 1,2-oxaphosphetane intermediates with pentacoordinate phosphorus; in these intermediates, the steric factor plays a predominant role. Studying the Wittig reaction between nonstabilized ylides and different aldehydes, we noted that the stereochemical outcome driving toward Z-olefin formation was influenced only by different steric factors. ...
