In a Wittig reaction, a ketone or aldehyde reacts as an electrophile with a nucleophile called a Wittig reagent (or phosphonium ylide) to produce an alkene. The Wittig reagent is commonly synthesized first in a two-step process beginning with an alkyl halide, then reacted with the carbonyl compound. In this problem, you'll explore the mechanism of a multi-step synthesis to make an alkene using the Wittig approach.
