title: A new manifold for the Morita reaction: diene synthesis from simple aldehydes and acrylates/acrylonitrile mediated by phosphines.
abstract: Dienes have been formed with good stereoselectivity and in good yield from simple aldehydes and acrylates/acrylonitrile in the presence of a phosphine and a Lewis acid through a modification of the Morita reaction.
