✦ Synopsis


Aromatic aldehydes react with J, to give predominantly trans 6-aryl-5-hexenoic acids, under special conditions. A systematic study of the reaction of k with aldehydes, in a preliminary attempt to define the cause and scope of the trans stereoselectivity, is reported.

The Wittig reaction can be an effective method for stereoselective synthesis of carboncarbon double bonds.

1 Aldehydes react with lithium-salt-free, non-stabilized (or "reactive") phosphonium ylides to produce predominantly cis olefins, and with stabilized ylides to produce predominantly trans olefins.' Generally, non-stabilized ylides will not afford high trans stereoselectivity directly in their reaction with aldehydes, even in the midst of lithium salts and non-polar solvents.
