title: Wittig olefination between phosphine, aldehyde, and allylic carbonate: a general method for stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted 1,3-dienes with highly variable substituents.
abstract: A clean and salt-free Wittig olefination between phosphines, aldehydes, and allylic carbonates is described. It represents a general method for convenient and efficient synthesis of 1,2,4-trisubstituted 1,3-dienes from readily available starting materials. This method exhibits high synthetic efficiency, high stereoselectivity, and high variability of substituent.
