Popis: 1. Steric control of the Wittig reaction can be effected by changing the reaction conditions and the structures of the starting compounds. 2. Stereoselective synthesis of cis olefins from alkylideneor benzylidene-triphenylphosphoranes and aldehydes can be effected in presence of Lewis bases. The maximum relative yield of cis olefins is attained by carrying out the reaction in N,N-dimethylformamide in presence of Br− and I−, which form complexes with phosphoranes. 3. The stereoselective synthesis of trans olefins was effected when the phosphorylid molecule contained an electron-accepting substituent on the ylid C atom. Thus, irrespective of the external conditions, the reaction ofα-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)alkanoic esters with aldehydes gives only the corresponding trans olefins.
