Abstrakt: This article explores the olefination of carbonyl compounds, which is an important process in synthetic research for the preparation of alkenes. The article discusses various reagents and mechanisms involved in olefination reactions, including the use of organophosphorus compounds, silanes, boranes, and titanium organometallics. The authors also investigate the potential involvement of ß-lactones, specifically activated carboxylic esters, in carbon-based olefination reactions. The study presents experimental results using esters of fluorinated alcohols and carbonyl compounds, demonstrating the formation of ¿-methylcinnamates through the formation and spontaneous cleavage of ß-lactones. This research suggests that carbon-based reagents can react similarly to heteroatom-based reagents in olefination reactions. [Extracted from the article]
