The use of alkaline carbonates in a slighty hydrated solid-liquid protic organic media allowed the synthesis of alkenes from polyfunctional aldehydes with high yield in a E preferential stereochemistry specially with non-stabilized ylides.It has been shown that the decomposition of the threo betain acts as the determining step of the reaction.
