The Wittig synthesis of alkenes under gas–liquid phase-transfer catalysis
Abstract
Under gas–liquid phase-transfer catalysis conditions, an aldehyde passed in the gaseous state through a solid bed of potassium carbonate and a phosphonium salt, results in the formation of an alkene which is obtained in good yield by condensation and is free from triphenylphosphine oxide, which remains adsorbed on the bed.
