The bicyclic triaminophosphine P(RNCH2CH2) 3N (R = i-Bu, 1c) serves as an effective promoter for the room-temperature stereoselective synthesis of α,β-unsaturated esters, fluorides, and nitriles from a wide array of aromatic, aliphatic, heterocyclic, and cyclic aldehydes and ketones, using a range of Wadsworth-Emmons (WE) phosphonates. Among the analogues of 1c [R = Me (1a), i-Pr (1b), Bn (1d)], 1a and 1b performed well, although longer reaction times were involved, and 1d led to poorer yields than 1c. Functionalities such as cyano, chloro, bromo, methoxy, amino, ester, and nitro were well tolerated. We were able to isolate and characterize (by X-ray means; see above) the reactive WE intermediate species formed from 2b and 1c.

α-Fluoro-α,β-unsaturated esters 2 were efficiently synthetized via diethylzinc-promoted Wittig reaction using a phosphonium-supported triphenylphosphine SCG-PPh3 1, which possesses similar reactivity as its parent analog triphenylphosphine. The

The Z-selective formation of α-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated esters was achieved using the deselenenic acid of the syn-and/or anti-3-aryl-2-fluoro-3-hydroxy-2-organoselanylacetates 3 and 4 with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. In contrast, the 3-alkyl-substituted propanoates 3f and 4b stereospecifically underwent alkenylation to give the (E)- or (Z)-α-fluoro-α,β-unstaurated esters 5f. We were also successful in the one-pot alkenylation reactions. Copyright
