Abstract

Allylic PO-ylides generated by deprotonation of 2-alkenyldiphenylphosphine oxides with BuLi were used to prep. 1,3-dienes trans-selectively. The (Z/E) ratios of the newly formed double bond are 1:99 when straight-chain, while they were 2:98 to 4:96 when b-branched aliph., and 4:96 to 6:94 when arom. aldehydes were employed.
