This reaction is known as
Wittig Reaction. A powerful reaction for the synthesis of
Alkene. In question the starting materials are
aldehyde and a Phosphorous
Ylide. Ylide when reacted with aldehyde produces a four membered ring which on
rearrangement gives Alkene and triphenylphosphine oxide. Phosphorous having great
affinity toward the oxygen is the driving force of this rearrangement. The reaction along with product (highlighted
blue) is as follow,
<span>The solute is the substance that is being dissolved while the solvent is the base that the solute is bring dissolved in. For example, in salt water, salt would be the solute that dissolves into the water, and the water is the solvent that the salt is being dissolved in.</span>
Most of the substances found on earth are compounds.
(water is made up of 2 elements)
(a baseball is larger than a golf ball by default)
