Abstract

C15H31), 0.86 g, 36%], mp 109°C lit.' 107-109°C; [ a ] ~ +40" (c 1, CHC13), lit.5 + 40" (c 0.5, pyridine). The mechanism of the Mitsunobu reaction6 has recently been shown778 to involve the formation of dialkoxytriphenyl- phosphorane intermediates. The selectivity observed in these reactions is presumably a result of the preferential formation of such phosphoranes on the primary hydroxy groups. Moreover, nucleophilic displacement of triphenylphosphine oxide by the ...
