✦ Synopsis


Diphenyl cyanomethylenephosphonate (PhO)2POCH2CN was prepared as a stable crystalline solid in high yield in a single step from acetonitrile, LDA, and (PhO)2P(O)C1. The potassium ylide generated from this compound afforded o;//-unsaturated nitriles upon reacting with aldehydes, with a stereoselectivity of 64-100% favoring the cis-isomer.
