New reaction mode of the Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction using Sn(OSO2CF3)2 and N-ethylpiperidine

Abstract
Excellent Z or E selectivity is observed in the Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reactions of methyl bis(trifluoroethyl)phosphonoacetate 2 with aryl alkyl ketones 3a–d or aldehydes 3f,g using Sn(OSO 2 CF 3 ) 2 in the presence of N-ethylpiperidine, which should have a different reaction mode to those using sodium hydride.
