Concept introduction:
A molecule that is phosphorus-stabilized carbanion is an ylide. This molecule does not have overall charge, but is consist of negatively charged carbon atom bonded to a positively charged heteroatom. Phosphorus ylides are produced from alkyl halides and triphenylphosphine. The product that is prepared is an alkyl triphenylphosphonium salt.
In the Witting reaction, the carbonyl group of a ketone or aldehyde get converted in to new carbon-carbon double bond by the reaction with phosphorus ylide.

Add any organic reagents the student is missing on the left-hand side of the arrow, and any addition reagents that are necessary above or below the arrow. If this product can't be made in good yield with a single transformation step, check the box below the drawing area. Note for advanced students: you may assume that an excess of benzene is used as part of the reaction conditions. : ☐ + I X This product can't be made in a single transformation step.arrow_forwardPredict the major products of this organic reaction:arrow_forward
