range of stabilized ylides and aldehydes. Despite sometimes poor solubility of the reactants, good chemical yields normally ranging from 80 to 98% and high E-selectivities (up to 99%) are achieved, and the rate of the reactions in water is unexpectedly accelerated. The efficiency of water as a medium in the Wittig reaction is compared to conventional organic solvents ranging from carbon tetrachloride
Pd-catalyzed direct oxidative olefination of arenes with olefins via C–H activation is described in the absence of any chelating directing groups. For Pd-catalyzed oxidative coupling between arenes and allyl acetate, it was observed the retention of the leaving group.
