Abstract

A novel reagent system consisting of chlorodiphenylphosphine, imidazole, and iodine in an inert solvent converts vicinal diols to olefins. Reagents are, after completed reaction, removed by extractive procedures, which facilitates large-scale preparations. Vicinal diols consisting of either a primary and a secondary hydroxyl or two secondary hydroxyls are in this way converted to olefins in high yields.
