Allongement de la chaîne carbonée d'un aldéhydosucre à groupements hydroxyles bloqués par l'utilisation d'ylides du phosphore non stabilisés

Abstract
The action of the unstabilized WITTIG reagents methylene triphenylphosphorane and methoxymethylene triphenylphosphorane on 2,3:4,5‐di‐O‐isopropylidene aldehydo‐L‐arabinose led with acceptable yields to the corresponding unsaturated sugars, providing a direct route for a one‐carbon chain extension in the carbohydrate series.
