A mild and facile Wittig reaction between N ‐substituted maleimides and aldehydes has been developed. Various synthetically valuable alkylidenesuccinimides were obtained from this one‐pot reaction in high yields (up to 99%). The product was obtained by simple filtration and no extra purification was necessary. Ethanol, an environment‐benign solvent, was found to be a suitable reaction medium.
