A Continuous Homologation of Esters: An Efficient Telescoped Reduction-Olefination Sequence

A continuous protocol for the two-carbon homologation of esters to α,β-unsaturated esters is described. This multireactor homologation telescopes an ester reduction, phosphonate deprotonation, and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination, thus converting a three-operation procedure into a single, uninter...
