In the Wittig reaction, the cyclic gxaphosphetane intermediate (shown below) undergoes fragmentation to produce an olefin and a phosphine oxide. Hypothetically, two possible arrow pushing mechanisms can be proposed but only one is correct. Please select one (mechanism 1 or mechanism 2) and explain why it is correct. If you believe both are correct, also explain why. Ph Ph. Ph Ph Ph Ph mechanism 1 mechanism 2 Ph Ph Ph

Please help me with this question, it's urgent The reaction shown below does not follow the expected theory. Given what you learned about substitution/elimination, what is the expected mechanism this reaction should follow? Suggest why that is not what happens and give the actual product of the reaction.
The Stille coupling reaction is another metal-catalyzed reaction that is a great way to form carbon-carbon bonds. What makes the Stille coupling unique is that it is a carbonylative reaction, meaning CO is inserted into the compound to make a carbonyl group. The mechanism involves oxidative addition, coordination, insertion, transmetallation, and reductive elimination. Suggest a mechanism for the following Stille coupling. OTf Me Si SnBu3 cat.
