Phosphoranes, produced by treating alkyltriphenylphosphonium bromides with lithium hexamethyldisilazide, reacted with ω-oxo esters to give modest yields of the corresponding methyl cis-alkenoates.By an alternative method, treatment of ω-iodo esters with the complexes formed from reactions of alkylcopper(I) and Grignard reagents gave methyl alkanoates, cis-alkenoates, and methylene-interrupted cis,cis-alka-dienoates and cis,cis,cis-trienoates.The stereochemical integrity of the esters was determined by 13C NMR spectroscopy.
