Efficient catalytic arsa‐Wittig reactions have been developed by using 1‐phenylarsolane as a catalyst. A wide array of aldehydes was converted to the corresponding olefins in high yields with moderate to excellent E stereoselectivity in the presence of a catalytic amount of 1‐phenylarsolane. Moreover, density functional theory calculations were carried out to afford insight into the E / Z selectivity.
