Organic Chemistry As a Second Language: Second Semester Topics, Chapter 6.9, Problem 6.81P , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction:

Wittig Reaction: It is an organic reaction where an aldehyde or a ketone gets converted to an alkene by replacing carbonyl group by a C=C bond. A phosphorous ylide is used for this conversion. It is a neutral molecule where a positively charged phosphorous is attached to a negatively charged carbon atom.
