The explanation to why phosphonium ylide reacts with
Concept introduction:
Ylides:
Ylides are those compounds in which a negatively charged species such as carbanion is attached directly to a heteroatom like sulfur and phosphorous. Some examples of such compounds are phosphorus ylides, sulfonium ylides, carbonyl ylides and oxonium ylides.

The reaction of a phosphonium ylide with a ketone or aldehyde produces an alkene, but, as shown in Problem 17.57, the reaction of a sulfonium ylide produces an epoxide. Explain why. Hint: What is the major driving force for the Wittig reaction to produce an alkene? The S-O bond energy in dimethyl sulfoxide is 362 kJ/mol.
We have seen that the alpha carbon atom of an enamine can function as a nucleophile in a Michael reaction, and in fact,
enamines can function as nucleophiles in a wide variety of reactions. For example, an enamine will undergo alkylation
when treated with an alkyl halide. Draw the structure of intermediate A and the alkylation product B in the following
