A convenient method for reductive Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) olefination is described. The E-selective HWE homologation of various esters to α,β-unsaturated esters was readily achieved and gave the desired products in good-to-moderate yields under mild conditions. The one-pot reaction proceeds through an in situ generated aldehyde, formed via the partial reduction of an ester with lithium diisobutyl-t-butoxyaluminum hydride. The formation of cyclized metal acetal and subsequent decompose to the aldehyde for the olefination was found to be a crucial step in this C2-carbon homologation protocol.

Gold(I) can exhibit a cooperative effect with triphenylphosphine, accelerating the triphenylphosphine-mediated partial hydrogenation of activated alkynes. In this protocol, 3-arylpropiolates are selectively reduced to the Z -isomer when the aryl ring bears an electron-donor substituent, whereas 3-arylpropynones are reduced to the E-isomers.
One-Pot Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated Esters, Ketones, and Nitriles from Alcohols and Phosphonium Salts

A general method for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated esters, ketones, and nitriles is successfully achieved by a one-pot copper-catalyzed oxidation with O 2 in air as oxidant. The solvent mixture of acetonitrile and formamide (1:1) is optimized to ensure the oxidation of alcohols, deprotonation of phosphonium salt, and Wittig reaction occur efficiently in one pot. A broad range of substrates has been explored for this process, including three electron-withdrawing group (CO 2 Et, COPh, CN) functionalized phosphonium salts. They reacted not only with benzylic and heteroaromatic alcohols, but also with aliphatic alcohols, forming the corresponding α,β-unsaturated esters, ketones, and nitriles in moderate to excellent yields.
