The alkylphosphonium salt is deprotonated with a strong base such as n-butyllithium: [Ph 3 P + CH 2 R]X − + C 4 H 9 Li → Ph 3 P=CHR + LiX + C 4 H 10. Besides n-butyllithium (n BuLi), other strong bases like sodium and potassium t-butoxide (t BuONa, t BuOK), lithium, sodium and potassium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS, NaHMDS, KHDMS, where HDMS = N(SiMe 3) 2), or sodium hydride (NaH) are also ...
The Wittig reaction or Wittig olefination is a chemical reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with a triphenyl phosphonium ylide called a Wittig reagent. Wittig reactions are most commonly used to convert aldehydes and ketones to alkenes. [1] [2] [3] Most often, the Wittig reaction is used to introduce a methylene group using ...
A 1,2-Wittig rearrangement is a categorization of chemical reactions in organic chemistry, and consists of a 1,2-rearrangement of an ether with an alkyllithium compound. [1] The reaction is named for Nobel Prize winning chemist Georg Wittig. [2] [3] The intermediate is an alkoxy lithium salt, and the final product an alcohol.
The [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement is the transformation of an allylic ether into a homoallylic alcohol via a concerted, pericyclic process. Because the reaction is concerted, it exhibits a high degree of stereocontrol, and can be employed early in a synthetic route to establish stereochemistry.
Sodium amide has also been used a base. [4] Methylenetriphenylphosphorane is used to replace oxygen centres in aldehydes and ketones with a methylene group, i.e., a methylenation: R 2 CO + Ph 3 PCH 2 → R 2 C=CH 2 + Ph 3 PO. The phosphorus-containing product is triphenylphosphine oxide.
The mechanism of the aza-Wittig reaction is analogous to that of the Wittig reaction, with the Wittig reagent replaced by an iminophosphorane. [1] Mechanism of Aza-Wittig-reaction. In some cases, the iminophosphorane is not isolated but generated in situ. In this manifestation, the phosphine, carbonyl, and organic azide are combined
This dimer is called a special pair because of its fundamental role in photosynthesis. This special pair is slightly different in PSI and PSII reaction centers. In PSII, it absorbs photons with a wavelength of 680 nm, and is therefore called P680. In PSI, it absorbs photons at 700 nm and is called P700. In bacteria, the special pair is called ...
