The structure of an isolated acyclic intermediate in the Wittig reaction between succinic anhydride and ethoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane has been shown by X-ray structure analysis and DEPT n.m.r .to be the phosphorane (4a) rather than the alternative phosphonium salt (4b). However, an intermediate was not observed in the Wittig reaction between the phosphorane (1b) and cyclic anhydrides. Both the stabilized phosphoranes (1a,b) react with succinic, phthalic and glutaric anhydrides stereoselectively to produce E enol lactones. Some mechanistic aspects are discussed. The assignment of the enol lactone stereochemistry was achieved by n.O.e. difference n.m.r. methods.

Hydrolysis of gallium tribromide complexes of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene in toluene solvent affords crystals of the mono-phosphonium salt [ 1,2 -Ph2P-(C6H4)-PPh2H]+ [GaBr4]- . The structure analysis by single crystal X-ray diffraction allows an internal comparison of Ph2P phosphino and Pf2PH+ phosphonium functions.

The 8aR absolute stereochemistry of Wieland-Miescher ketone (-)-I was established by the X-ray structure analysis of its bis(4-bromobenzoate) derivatives (1R,6R,8aR)-(+)-IV and (1R,6S,8aR)-(-)-V. The absolute configuration of (-)-I was corroborated further by the application of the CD exciton chirality method to bis(4-bromobenzoates) (+)-IV and (-)-V.

Racemates of (η3-allyl)tricarbonyliron lactone complex Fe(CO)3{η1:η3-C(O)XCH2CHCMeCH2} 1a (X = O) and (η3-allyl)tricarbonyliron lactam complex 2a (X = NMe) are resolved on a preparative scale by HPLC on cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl)carbamate/silica gel RP-8 and the absolute configuration of (-)-2a is determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectral assignments of ethyl 2-aroyl-4,5-dimethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridazine-1-carboxylates (1a-1h) and ethyl 2-arylcarbamoyl-4,5-dimethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridazine-1-carboxylates (2a-2k) are given based on DQF COSY, 1H,13C HMQC and 1H,13C HMBC-measurements; the dynamics of the tetrahydropyridazine ring has been studied by 1H, 1H EXSY-technique and the structure of one congener (4′-methylphenyl-derivative, 2a) has been confirmed by X-ray structure analysis.
