Interpretation:
The structural formula for the compound D and for the product,
Concept introduction:
The
Wittig reaction is a reaction in which a nucleophilic elimination occurs after nucleophilic addition reaction. In this reaction an aldehyde or ketone reacts with a triphenyl phosphonium ylide (Wittig reagent) to give an
The reaction can be represented as shown below,
Mechanism:
It is possible to generate sulphur ylides in a manner similar to that used to produce phosphonium ylides. For example, treating a sulfonium salt with a strong base gives the sulphur ylide.
Sulfur ylides reacts with ketone to give
