The deprotonation reaction mechanism of methyl diethylphosphonoacetate in the presence of lithium salts and 1,8‐diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐ene (DBU) was examined by infrared spectroscopy. It was found that the intermediate species formed by chelation of the bidentate phosphonate with a lithium cation or an ion pair of the salt deaggregated by DBU takes part in the reaction path. The role of the anion X − is to induce the elimination of a protonated DBUH + X − ion pair and that of the solvent is to compete with the bidentate phosphonate in cation solvation. A similar mechanism via a related intermediate is proposed to interpret the results obtained by other workers on the catalysis by Ba(OH) 2 of the Wittig–Horner reaction.
