Phosphorus ylides based on the dibenzophosphole (DBP) ring system convert aldehydes into trans-disubstituted oxaphosphetanes with good to excellent selectivity. Decomposition at 70–110° affords alkenes with E:Z ratios from 6:1 to > 100:1.
Various 1-phenylbut-3-enylidenes, (Ph)CCR2CH=CHR', were generated thermally and photolytically from tosylhydrazone (diazo) precursors. 1,2-Vinyl shifts, leading to 1,3-dienes, R'CH=CHC(Ph)=CR2, were found to predominate over gamma-C-H insertion (R = Me) and to compete with 1,2-H shifts (R = H). Intramolecular addition to the double bond was detected in the case of R = R' = Me. The resulting bicyclobutane is thermally stable and does not mediate the vinyl shift. Stereospecific migration of 1-propenyl groups (R' = Me), with retention of configuration, was observed on thermolysis and direct photolysis of appropriate substrates. These data exclude the intervention of a triplet diradical and point, to vinyl migration in the singlet manifold. Benzophenone-sensitized generation of the carbenes led to partial stereomutation but did not provide conclusive evidence for a triplet rearrangement (isomerization of the diene products could not be avoided under these conditions).

The bicyclic ylide 4 reacts with aldehydes to afford the E-alkenes. Selectivity is 94-6% E for unbranched aldehydes, but the selectivity decreases with increasing alpha-branching. Ylide 4 is the first E-selective, nonstabilized ylide that allows efficient utilization of the P-alkyl substituent.
