Intramolecular CH‐Hydrogen Bonding During the Dissociation of the Oxaphosphetane Intermediate Facilitates Z/E‐Selectivity in Wittig Olefination

Abstract Herein, DFT studies corroborating experimental results revealed that the shortest intramolecular hydrogen bonding distance of cis/trans‐oxaphosphetane (OPA) oxygen with the CH‐hydrogen of a triphenylphosphine phenyl ring provides good evidence for the attained olefin Z/E‐selectivity in Witt...
