title: A novel ketone olefination via organozinc reagents in the presence of diphenyl phosphite.
abstract: Carbonyl compounds react with organozinc reagents in the presence of diphenyl phosphite to give the corresponding olefins. A variety of 1,3-dienes and unsaturated esters were obtained in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions.
