(Received 26 January 1959)
ALTHOUGH triphenylphoaphineacylmethylenea have been known for some time,'
Wittig'e recent preparation of the simpler analoge has been of interest
because of their eynthetio utility.2
We wish to report a new reaction which these compounds undergo on
treatment with lithium aluminum hydride, When the triphenylphosphine-
methylenee, (C6H5)3P-CHR: (I) R=H, (II) R= COCH3, (III) R-COC6H5,
(IV) R=COC(CH3)2COCH(CH3)2 3
