Chem., 1990, 55, 501) have shown that ester stabilised ylides can react with aldehydes when solid sodium carbonate is used as base. The solid hydrated form of the base is critical to its success as the reaction is believed to occur on its solid surface and requires the correct interstitial distance between the ions.

34. 3CN)) suggest that the energy difference between conformers 4A and 4B is ca. 20 kJ, which, if it was translated directly into epoxides, corresponds to 99.8% ee at 40°C).
35. 3CN)) show that there is a 42° twist of the phenyl group in ylide conformer 4B resulting in reduced stabilization of the ylide carbanion.

37. 64% Ee is observed for ylide 15 at 40°C, using the Boltzmann equation, it is predicted that the enantioselectivity should be 84% ee at -78°C. However, > 99% ee was actually observed.
