Abstract

The synthesis of cyclohexylidene derivatives by condensation of α- lithiocyclohexylphosphonic acid bis (dimethylamide) with some carbonyl compounds has been studied. The desired olefin was obtained when the carbonyl moiety was an aldehyde but, probably for steric reasons, not when ketones were used.
