GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract

The thermal decomposition of (substituted methyl)triphenylphosphonium tetraphenylborates, which can also be generated in situ from the corresponding phosphonium halide and NaBPh4, with an aldehyde affords olefins in 22–100% yields. This Wittig olefination does not need use additional base to form phosphorus ylide, and is highly tolerant of benzoic acid.
