M. Ochiai et al., Triphenylphosphine-mediated olefination of aldehydes with (Z)-(2-acetoxyalk-1-enyl)phenyl-lambda(3)-iodanes: generation and reaction of (2-oxoalkyl)phenyl-lambda(3)-iodanes, CHEM COMMUN, (13), 2000, pp. 1157-1158
(Z)-(2-Acetoxyalk-1-enyl)phenyl-lambda(3)-iodanes, on treatment with trieth
ylamine in methanol in the presence of triphenylphosphine, undergo Wittig o
lefination with aldehydes, which involves the intermediacy of alpha-iodanyl
ketones generated by in situ protonation of monocarbonyl iodonium ylides.
