Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination converts carbonyl compounds to substituted acrylonitriles: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 83, 1733 (1961); J. Org. Chem., 30, 505 (1965). LiOH has been found to be an effective base for this reaction: Tetrahedron Lett., 44, 1333 (2003).
The active methylene group can be monoalkylated under phase transfer conditions with alkyl iodides or allylic or benzylic bromides: Synthesis, 516 (1975). Use of alumina as base leads predominantly to the Knoevenagel product rather than the Wadsworth-Emmons: Tetrahedron, 41, 1259 (1985).
