Evaluate the reaction using common green chemistry metrics: environmental factor (E-factor), and systematic investigation of the reaction has been made in order to study the various factors affecting the reaction. The E-factor of Liquid-assisted Wittig reaction is about a quarter of the traditional method. Under optimal conditions, the conversion rate can reach 99.2 and the E:Z ratio can reach 76:24. %K Wittig Reaction %K Synthesis %K Rosuvastatin Intermediates %U http://www.oalib.com/paper/5435333
