Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The products formed in the given reaction sequence, are to be stated.

Concept introduction: The Wittig reagent is synthesized in two steps. The first step is SN2 reaction of Ph3P with an alkyl/aryl halide to yield phosphonium salts. The second step is deprotonation of the phosphonium salts with a strong base (BuLi) to yield ylide. The Wittig reaction utilizes carbon nucleophile from the Wittig reagent to yield alkenes.
