Abstract

Abstract Triphenylphosphoranylideneacetamide undergoes Michael reactions with several acceptors, giving rise, apart from the normal Michael adducts, to the formation of different products like glutarimide ylides and stabilized iminophosphoranes. Wittig reactions with these new ylides lead to a variety of α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.
