In this report, new, easily accessible reagents for highly <i>Z</i>-selective HWE reactions are presented. Alkyl di-(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl)phosphonoacetates, structurally similar to Still-Gennari type reagents, were tested in HWE reactions with a series of various aldehydes. Very good <i>Z</i>-selectivity (up to a 98:2 <i>Z</i>:<i>E</i> ratio) was achieved in most cases along with high yields. Application of the new reagents may be a valuable, practical alternative to the well-establis ...[more]
