An easy access to symmetrical Z-olefins from phosphorus ylides

Symmetrical Z-olefins are obtained in good to quantitative yields from phosphonium salts via an autoxidation process, in salt-free conditions. Symmetrical functionnalized Z-olefins are obtained easily from corresponding primary phosphorus ylides in high yields. Influence of the temperature and compa...

Description
Summary:Symmetrical Z-olefins are obtained in good to quantitative yields from phosphonium salts via an autoxidation process, in salt-free conditions. Symmetrical functionnalized Z-olefins are obtained easily from corresponding primary phosphorus ylides in high yields. Influence of the temperature and comparison with other bases are also shown.
