A catalytic (E)- to (Z)-isomerization of olefins using a photoredox catalyst under mild reaction conditions is presented. A variety of (Z)-alkenes can be prepared in the presence of visible light. A new reaction system allows an easy and efficient scale-up, as well as a continuous flow process in which the photocatalyst is immobilized in an ionic liquid and continuously recycled by simple phase separation. Catalytic (E)- to (Z)-isomerizations of olefins under mild conditions can be achieved by use of a photosensitizer and visible light. A new reaction system such as depicted allows an easy and efficient scale-up, as well as continuous flow processes in which the photocatalyst is immobilized in an ionic liquid and continuously recycled by phase separation.
Unequivocal experimental evidence for a unified lithium salt-free wittig reaction mechanism for all phosphonium ylide types: Reactions with β-heteroatom-substituted aldehydes are consistently selective for cis-oxaphosphetane-derived products

The true course of the lithium salt-free Wittig reaction has long been a contentious issue in organic chemistry. Herein we report an experimental effect that is common to the Wittig reactions of all of the three major phosphonium ylide classes (non-stabilized, semi-stabilized, and stabilized): there is consistently increased selectivity for cis-oxaphosphetane and its derived products (Z-alkene and erythro-β-hydroxyphosphonium salt) in reactions involving aldehydes bearing heteroatom substituents in the β-position. The effect operates with both benzaldehydes and aliphatic aldehydes and is shown not to operate in the absence of the heteroatom substituent on the aldehyde. The discovery of an effect that is common to reactions of all ylide types strongly argues for the operation of a common mechanism in all Li salt-free Wittig reactions. In addition, the results are shown to be most easily explained by the [2+2] cycloaddition mechanism proposed by Vedejs and co-workers as supplemented by Aggarwal, Harvey, and co-workers, thus providing strong confirmatory evidence in support of that mechanism. Notably, a cooperative effect of ortho-substituents in the case of semi-stabilized ylides is confirmed and is accommodated by the cycloaddition mechanism. The effect is also shown to operate in reactions of triphenylphosphine-derived ylides and has previously been observed for reactions under aqueous conditions, thus for the first time providing evidence that kinetic control is in operation in both of these cases.

Using NaH as the base and DMSO as the solvent, a series of symmetric (E)-stilbenes were prepared in good yields via the -homocoupling of 1,3-dibenzylbenzotriazolium bromides at room temperature. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.
