Abstract
Lithiated allylic phosphonates undergo efficient olefination reactions with a variety of aldehydes in the presence of HMPA to give terminal 1,3-dienes with high selectivity for the E- isomer. This method is general and procedurally simple.
Key words
aldehydes - alkenation - phosphorus - Wittig reactions - ylides

14 While this work was underway, Schlosser and Liu reported a highly stereoselective synthesis of (E )-1,3-dienes with allylphosphonates.
[15 ]
However, experimental details were not provided for the optimized conditions using unsubstituted diethyl allylphosphonate with the straight-chain aldehyde nonanal (NaH activated with LiAlH4 ), and we could not consistently reproduce the reported results (74% yield, 99:1 E /Z ).
