(1) M. Schlosser and K. F. Christmann, Angew. Chem. Intern. Ed. Engl, 5, 126 (1966); Ann. Chem., 708, 1 (1967). the potassium z-butoxide-z-butyl alcohol reagent is not required for the Wittig-Schlosser synthesis. 2 Thisfinding implied that the intermediate ß-oxido phosphonium ylide (the obvious product of the reaction of a phos-phorus betaine with phenyllithium) is capable of stereospecific protonation to form the threo betaine which is the precursor of the trans-1, 2-disubstituted ethylene finally formed. It seemed logical to expect that only one of the isomeric betaines might be formed specifically by the reaction of electrophiles other than proton donors with ß-oxido phosphonium ylides and that a useful stereospecific route to trisubstituted olefins might thereby become available. This communication describes the realization of such a synthetic process. 3 Publication of the results which have been obtained thus far is prompted bythe appearance of a note describing a study of reactions of ß-oxide phosphonium ylides4 which par-tially overlaps the present work. Methods which have been described previously per-mit the stereospecific synthesis of trisubstituted olefins of types la, 3· 5 lb, 35 andalso 2a, 3a, e but not of type 2b. We shall first describe a new approach to the synthesis of
