Phosphonoacetamide eaters bound to solid supported peptides or peptide
synthesis supports are active as Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reagen
ts with a variety of aldehydes. HWE reagents can be attached to the so
lid support via the amide or phosphono eater. Mild basic conditions, t
riethylamine and Li salts, with excess aldehyde give high conversions
to alkenes.
