Computational Chemistry in the Undergraduate Laboratory: A Mechanistic Study of the Wittig Reaction
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Albrecht, Birgit – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
The Wittig reaction is one of the most useful reactions in organic chemistry. Despite its prominence early in the organic chemistry curriculum, the exact mechanism of this reaction is still under debate, and this controversy is often neglected in the classroom. Introducing a simple computational study of the Wittig reaction illustrates the…
