13. Attempts to isolate or observe the 1:1 dipolar adducts of various trialkylphosphines and allenoates led only to oligomerization of the allenoates and recovery of the phosphines.

24. One exception is noted from Ramirez's studies, in which the 1:1 adduct formed between a trialkylphosphine and 3-benzylidene-2,4-pentanedione was reported to be a dipolar ion: (a) Ramirez, F.; Pilot, J. F.; Smith, C. P. Tetrahedron 1968, 24, 3735.

27. To the best of our knowledge, this phosphonium enolate zwitterion is the first to have been characterized using X-ray crystallography.

34. Trace amounts (0.5-7%) of a product containing two units from 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde and one from methyl propiolate were isolated from several of the reactions. The formation of this product can be rationalized from consideration of our proposed mechanism; see the Supporting Information for details.
