- (Methoxycarbonylmethylene)triphenylphosphorane is used in olefination reactions. Wittig reagent for the two-carbon homologation of aldehydes to α,β-unsaturated esters. it undergoes the Wittig reaction with aldehydes to give substituted methyl acrylates.
- used in an efficient synthesis of pyrazoles via reaction with methyl diazoacetate in the presence of triethylamine.
- It is used in the preparation of (triphenylphosphoranylidene)-ketene.
- The Wittig reaction we performed in class involved the reaction of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde (1) with methyl (triphenylphosphoranylidene) acetate (2) to produce methyl (2E)-3-(2-nitrophenyl) acrylate (3) with a triphenylphosphine oxide (4) side product, and took place in a silica gel matrix to ensure even product dispersion for chromatography.
