• manumycin C (12) isolated from Streptomyces parvulus [13]. Different groups have investigated the synthesis of gymnastatins 10a–c [14][15][16], compounds 11 [17] and 12 [18]. In most cases, the lateral acid chain was prepared starting from (R)-2-methyloctanal by iterative Wittig reactions to build the

• few papers have reported Wittig reactions in water without an organic solvent, although the related Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions, using ester enolate type stabilized phosphonate ylids, have often been conducted in aqueous solutions [29]. The existing cases have mostly been targeted for the

• . We also report that the use of microwave (MW) irradiation brings major benefits as regards reaction times and yields in aqueous Wittig reactions. Both semi-stabilized and non-stabilized ylids provide an expedient entry to 5-(1-alkenyl)resorcinols, readily converted to AR and AR haptens. Results and

Both the yields of the preliminary experiments without MW irradiation and the yields of the MW promoted reactions were superior to those reported previously (20–30%) for Wittig reactions of non-stabilized ylids [31].
