One of its namesakes also created a mechanism for synthesizing ketones and aldehydes with Choung Un Kim and an olefin synthesis with Ronald Winter.
An intermediate step in this reaction sees the formation of a carbene group from an alkyl halide. One of its namesakes also created a mechanism for synthesizing ketones and aldehydes with Choung Un Kim and an olefin synthesis with Ronald Winter. Although it does not involve an aryl ketone, it does produce the same result as the Fritsch-Buttenberg-Wiechell rearrangement and the Seyferth-Gilbert homologation. Like in the Wittig reaction, a dibromoalkene is formed via a ? ylide intermediate in one step, and its penultimate step sees the formation of an alkynyl-lithium from a dibromoalkene .FTP, this method of creating terminal alkynes from aldehydes, named for an American and a German.
