Zinc promoted facile method for the acylation of ylides at α-carbon

Stabilised triphenylphosphonium ylides are acylated at the α-carbon with different acyl groups using zinc.

Flash Vacuum Pyrolysis of Stabilised Phosphorus Ylides. Part 2. Two-step Conversion of Acid Chlorides into Acetylenic Esters and Terminal Alkynes

The known thermal extrusion of Ph3PO from α-acyl-α-ethoxycarbonyl ylides 1 to give acetylenic esters 2 can be accomplished in excellent yield by using flash vacuum (FVP) at 500 deg C.Upon rasing the furnace temperature to 750 deg C, this reaction is accompanied by unexpected loss of the ethoxycarbonyl group to give the terminal alkynes 7 in moderate yield.A mechanism is proposed for this reaction based on isotopic labelling studies.Ten new examples of ylides 1 have been prepared for the first time.
