Tetra-n-butylammonium is a mild and efficient base for the elimination of
bromoalkenes. Treatment of 1,1-dibromoalkenes, (Z)-1-bromoalkenes, and
internal bromoalkenes with 5 equiv of TBAF • 3 H2O in DMF yielded
terminal and internal alkynes in high yields without problems regarding the
presence of water.

Deprotonation of 3,3,3-trichloropropyl-1-triphenylphosphonium chloride
generates the corresponding phosphorane, which reacts with aldehydes to give
trichloromethylated (Z)-olefins, which are useful for the synthesis
of (Z)-1,3-enynes, (Z,Z)-1-chloro-1,3-dienes, and 1,3-diynes
in high yields and stereospecificities.
