“…Thus, e.g., new phosphorus ylides have been obtained in excellent yield from the reactions of triphenylphosphine, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and strong NH acids, including pyrroles and indoles, 426 hydantoins, 427 benzimidazoles, 428 saccharin, 429 trifluoroacetamide, 430 phthalimide and succinimide. 431,432 New ylides have also been isolated from the related reactions of triphenylphosphine, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and primary aromatic amines, 433 including various aminophenols, 434 2-aminothiophenol, 435 and o-phenylenediamine. 436 Other NH compounds used to trap the initial dipolar adduct in the triphenylphosphinedimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate system include perimidines, 437 and various amides derived from aromatic amines, the latter reactions providing routes to 5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrroles.…”
