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 tri-phenylphosphine. The product that is prepared is an alkyltriphenylphosphonium salt.
In the Witting reaction, the carbonyl group of a
