The Wittig reaction was discovered in 1954 by Georg Wittig, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1979. 8 studied first the aza-Wittig reaction of iminopnictoranes with formaldehyde by ab initio calculations at the MP2/DZ-d level. The first section summarizes how arsenic and tellurium-based catalytic Wittig-type reaction systems were developed first due to the relatively easy reduction of the oxides involved.

This review surveys the literature regarding the development of catalytic versions of the Wittig and aza-Wittig reactions. About 30 years later, it was demonstrated that the N-P ylides could react with carbonyl compounds to give imines. Compared to the aza-Wittig reaction of aldehydes, ketones, amides and esters, the aza-Wittig reaction of acid anhydride was always overlooked, which should be important part of Wittig reactions. The simplest models for iminopnictoranes (H 3 MNH, i.e., M=P) and carbonyl compounds (CH 2 O) were chosen, replacing all of the substituents on the heavy atoms by hydrogen atoms. The aza-Wittig reaction offers several strategies for the syntheses of heterocyclic compounds, and in Section VI a broad choice of examples is presented. Phosphazenes afford intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction with different groups within the molecule as aldehydes, … Towards this end, the phosphane oxide is reduced in situ by diphenylsilane, which allows for substoichiometric amounts of the catalyst 5‐phenyldibenzophosphole to be used. It has been found that the reaction consists of a tandem [2+2] cycloaddition−cycloreversion sequence in which π and σ orbitals as well as lone pairs are involved. Higher sugars, bicyclic structures, and C-C linked oligosaccharides lie amongst the diversity of compounds shown in this review that are synthesized by this reaction, easily carried out and efficient in terms of reaction yield and stereoselectivity, depending on reagents and reaction conditions. The mechanism of the Wittig reaction has long been a contentious issue in organic chemistry. The aza-Cope rearrangements are predicted by the Woodward-Hoffman rules to proceed suprafacially. In this review, we gather together the huge body of evi The transformation of deprotonated allyl ethers into homoallylic alcohols is the [2,3]-sigmatropic version of the [1,2]-Wittig Rearrangement, and is therefore termed [2,3]-Wittig Rearrangement: These [2,3]-rearrangements feature regioselective carbon-carbon bond formation with allylic transposition of the oxygen, generation of specific olefin geometries and transfer of chirality. The mechanism of the aza-Wittig reaction between phosphazenes and aldehydes has been studied computationally, using DFT methods (B3LYP/6-31G* level), and experimentally. The Wittig reaction or Wittig olefination is a chemical reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with a triphenyl phosphonium ylide (often called a Wittig reagent) to give an alkene and triphenylphosphine oxide. Recent advances in the aza-Wittig reaction of phosphazene derivatives with several carbonyl compounds are reviewed.
It is widely used in organic synthesis for the preparation of alkenes. A review focused on recent advances in intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction of phosphazenes with several carbonyl or analogous compounds is reported. Higher sugars, bicyclic structures, and C-C linked oligosaccharides lie amongst the diversity of compounds shown in this review that are synthesized by this reaction, easily carried out and efficient in terms of reaction yield and stereoselectivity, depending on reagents and reaction conditions. The reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with a phosphonium ylide to an alkene and a phosphine oxide is known as Wittig reaction or Wittig Olefination reaction..
Even now, more than 50 years after its announcement, its presentation in many modern undergraduate textbooks is either overly simplified or entirely inaccurate. In 1919, Staudinger and Myers reported that azides and phosphines reacted to form N-P ylides, which could be converted to amines after hydrolysis (the Staudinger reaction).
