Condensations of stabilized phosphorane 1 with 3-substituted phthalic anhydrides were investigated. The importance of various effects influencing regio- and stereoselectivity of these reactions is discussed. It is proposed that the oxygen atom on the substituents in position 3 can act as a Lewis base toward the electron-deficient phosphorus of the ylid. The resulting complexation stabilizes the transition state for the reaction at the ortho carbonyl group, thus offsetting the usual steric and "push" effects, which favour attack at the meta carbonyl function. Keywords: Wittig condensations, phthalic anhydrides, regioselectivity, stereoselectivity.

The oxygen atom in the hydroperoxy group of 13-hydroperoxylinoleyl alcohol was primarily incorporated into the carbonyl group of 12-hydroxy-(3Z)-dodecenal but scarcely into n-hexanal during the incubation with tea chloroplasts.

The infrared spectra of 2,6-dimethyl-4-pyrone in solution, and in complexes with HgCl2, ZnCl2, BF3, SbCl5, and HBr have been recorded. A band at 1639 cm−1 in the free pyrone moves to progressively lower frequencies in the complexes as the Lewis acid strength increases, identifying this band as the carbonyl stretching frequency and the donor site as the carbonyl group. A higher-frequency band, at 1678 cm−1 in the free pyrone, moves to lower frequency on complex formation, but to a much smaller extent, and is to be identified with a stretching mode of the ring. The site of protonation in 2,6-dimethyl-4-pyrone salts has been unequivocally shown to be the carbonyl oxygen atom.
