In the reaction, a triphenylphosphorine ylide, also called a phosphorane, adds to an aldehyde/ketone to give a four-membered cyclic intermediate called an oxaphosphetane. The oxaphosphetane is not isolated but instead spontaneously decomposes to release triphenylphosphine oxide and an alkene. Ph3P-CHCH3 H3C The ylide is formed by reaction of triphenylphosphine, a good nucleophile, with a primary alkyl halide in an S 2 reaction, followed by deprotonation of the carbon with a strong base, such as butyllithium. The carbonyl carbon and the carbon originally bonded to the halogen become the two carbons with the double bond in the product alkene :0: CH3 Com The real value of the Wittig reaction lies in its ability to yield an alkene of predictable structure, as the C-C bond is precisely where the C=O bond was in the reactant and no isomers (other than…arrow_forward
