Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reagent 1 react with aldehydes and ketones to give corresponding E-α,β-unsaturated N-methoxy-N-methylamides.1) The presence of the Weinreb-Nahm amide, which can be transformed to aldehydes and ketones, makes 1 a useful reagent as a bifunctional building block.2) In contrast, Ando reported an useful Z selective olefination using Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reagent (Ando-type reagent) 2.3) Synthetic applications of 2 are being studying.4)
