Alkene from triphenyl phosphine and an epoxide

(1/1)

rolnor:

Does anyone know if this reaction occurs at any significant speed at roomtemp? Its not a very common reaction, its more common to epoxidize alkenes, not the other way around.

Vidya:
Epoxides are less stable so that is more faster reaction than The Wittig reaction.
