Reaction of aromatic aldehydes, and phthalic and thiophthalic anhydrides, with diethyl sodiophosphonate (1) gives the trans-stilbenes (3), 3,3'-biphthalidylidene (30), and 3,3'-bis-(2-thiophthalidylidene) (33).Similar treatment of fluorenone (8) and xanthone (17) with (1) leads to 9,9'-bis(fluororenylidene) (9) and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxophenanthrene-10-spiro-9'-fluorene (10), and to 9,9'-bixanthenylidene (18) and 9,9'-bixanthenyl (19), respectively, but the reaction using anthrone (11) as a carbonyl reagent yields only anthraquinone (12) and anthracene (13).Similar treatment using N-methylisatoic anhydride (34) and N-methylisatin (36) produces NN'-dimethylisoindigo (35).Reaction of benzaldehyde and p-chlorobenzaldehyde with diethyl 1--cyclohexylphosphonate (40) gives mainly corresponding mixtures of trans- (41a,b) and cis-stilbene epoxides (42a,b), while similar treatment of p-nitrobenzaldehyde with (40) produces 4,4'-dinitrostilbene (3e).Reaction of (8) with (40), as well as with (1), gives (9) and (10).The mechanism of formation of these products is discussed.
