Abstract

The Wittig reaction [1] has constantly evolved during the last half-century and occupies a vaulted position as one of the most strategic, reliable, widely applicable carbonÀ carbon olefin bond forming process available in organic synthesis. The reaction allows for olefination with complete positional selectivity, relatively high chemoselectivity and may be conducted in many cases with predictable stereocontrol.[2] For example, the Wittig ...
