Putting a new twist on an old favorite of organic chemistry, researchers have unveiled the phospha-bora-Wittig reaction. It offers a relatively straightforward way to prepare phosphaalkenes, which ...

The reaction is widely used — a literature search for “Wittig reactions” generates over 16,000 references, with new examples still appearing at the rate of 350–400 papers per year.

The Horner--Wadsworth--Emmons (HWE) reaction is commonly used in organic chemistry to synthesize conjugated aldehydes. However, traditional HWE reaction methods sometimes have inconsistent (E ...

The formation of carbon–carbon double bonds using Wittig-type reactions is a key component of synthetic organic chemistry. The broad utility of the reaction, and the fact that the major by ...

"The reaction we developed is faster than traditional methods such as the Wittig reaction and the corresponding ester-type HWE reaction, and the applicable compounds can be used in an extremely ...

Scientists have developed a new chemical synthesis method that could speed up the production of anti-cancer drugs. This is based on the Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) reaction, which is a ...
