Stabilized and semi-stabilized phosphoranes can be subjected to solventless Wittig reactions with carbaldehydes. Simple heating of a mixture of added components at 100 °C in an electric oven gives the corresponding olefins in good yield. Alternatively, the Wittig reactions can be carried out in a biphasic medium under ultrasonication. In this case, the Wittig products can be isolated by simple evaporation of the organic phase without additional work-up.

This communication describes our recent efforts to utilize Wittig olefination reactions for the post-polymerization modification of polynorbornene derivatives prepared through ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Polymerizing α-bromo ester-containing norbornenes provides polymers that can undergo facile substitution with triphenylphosphine. The resulting polymeric phosphonium salt is then deprotonated to form an ylide that undergoes reaction with various aryl aldehydes in a one-pot fashion to yield the respective cinnamates. These materials can undergo further modification through photo-induced [2 + 2] cycloaddition cross-linking reactions.

A highly modular solid-phase synthetic approach is presented which provides facile access to libraries of recyclable phosphine–phosphite ligands in quantitative yield requiring only minimal work-up.
