Leung, Sam H.; Angel, Stephen A.
Journal of Chemical Education, v81 n10 p1492 Oct 2004
Some Wittig reactions can be carried out by grinding the reactants in a mortar with a pestle for about 20 minutes, as per investigation. A laboratory experiment involving a solvent-free Wittig reaction that can be completed in a three-hour sophomore organic chemistry laboratory class period, are developed.
