Abstract
Abstract The chemoselective formation of trialkyl (benzylidene) ylides in water and their Wittig reaction with aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes provides a practical, stereoselective and environmentally benign route to valuable (E)-stilbenes and alkenes. The synthesis of the phytoalexin resveratrol is described. In addition, the method allows for a gram-scale synthesis of the anticancer agent DMU-212 utilizing no organic solvent at any stage.(© ...
