A Wittig Reaction of N-Sulfonyl Lactam

The Wittig Reaction

The Wittig Reaction

This so-called Wittig reaction has a number of advantages over other olefination methods; in particular, it occurs with total positional selectivity (that is, an alkene always directly replaces a carbonyl group). By comparison, a number of other carbonyl olefination reactions often occur with double-bond rearrangement. In addition, the factors that influence Eand Z-stereoselectivity are well un...

Mechanism of the Phospha-Wittig–Horner Reaction**

General. All reactions were performed under argon using Schlenk techniques. Diethyl ether and THF were freshly distilled from sodium/benzophenone prior to use. 1 H, 13 C and 31 P spectra were recorded on a 400 MHz and 300 MHz spectrometers. Chemical shifts (ppm) were reported and referenced to the internal signal of residual protic solvent. High resolution mass spectral analyses (HRMS) were per...
