Abstract

Abstract Treatment of esters with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) in the presence of lithio-trialkylphosphonoacetate results in improved yields of the homologated α, β- unsaturated esters. The problematic overreduction, which has previously observed in the half reduction of esters using DIBAL, is minimal (< 3%) under these conditions.
