Abstract

(Carboethoxymethylene)triphenylphosphorane 1 can undergo the tandem reaction of iodination–oxidation–Wittig reaction with alcohol in the presence of N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) and manganese dioxide. The reaction constitutes a stereoselective one-pot procedure for the preparation of Z-configured α-iodo-α,β-unsaturated esters in good to excellent yield.
