Application

(Methoxymethyl)triphenylphosphonium chloride is a Wittig reagent that reacts with aldehydes and ketones to give substituted alkenes. This Wittig reaction finds application as the key step in the synthesis of:
  • Antimalarial drug, (+)-artemisinin.
  • Substituted quinolines.
  • Akuammiline alkaloid picrinine.
  • 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives for signal transducers and activators of transcription 6 (STAT6) inhibitors.
