The Schlosser modification of it quenches the betaines involved with a proton donor.
The Schlosser modification of it quenches the betaines involved with a proton donor. One of its chief uses is the production of olefins, easily synthesized under mild conditions from triphenylphosphine resin by this process. When the equilibration of erythro and threo betaines is accelerated, this reaction becomes stereoselective in favor of the E-variety of the double- bonded end product. For ten points, name this reaction which uses carbonyl compounds and phosphorous ylids to form alkenes from aldehydes or ketones.
