Abstract
A one-pot reaction of imines, acid chlorides, and phosphonites generates a new class of phosphorus-based 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reagents. These substrates, which are isomeric forms of classic Wittig reagents, undergo cycloaddition reactions in an analogous fashion to 1,3-oxazolium-5-oxides (Münchnones).
