Abstract

The alkoxytriphenylphosphonium ion intermediate of the Mitsunobu reaction can be generated using the Hendrickson reagent, triphenylphosphonium anhydride trifluoromethanesulfonate, 1. Strangely, while the reagent 1 can be used in place of the Mitsunobu reagents (triphenylphosphine and a dialkylazodicarboxylate) for the esterification of primary alcohols, secondary alcohols such as menthol undergo elimination. Evidence is ...
