Answer #1

Negatively charged carbon phosphorus ylide (1) can act as a nucleophile attacking the carbonyl and (2). This leads to betaine (3), which is a type of zwitterion species. This rapidly forms the heterocycle charge separation without giving rise to oxaphosphetane (4). To what extent then the reaction evolves in concert (a) or via an intermediate (b) by the zwitterionic form (5) will condition the final stereoselectivity. Stability triphenylphosphine oxide (7) drives the reaction to yield the alkene product (6).

The nucleophile in the Wittig reaction is a phosphorous-stabilized carbanion called an ylide. The ylides are synthesized by employing a strong base to remove an acidic proton and a halogen from a alkyl triphenylphosphonium halide salt. The alkyl triphenylphosphonium halide salts are made via an SN2 reaction between an appropriate alkyl halide substrate and triphenylphosphine. So we could consider these SN2 reactions as the "first step" in a multi-step Wittig synthesis. Could bromobenzene be a starting material in one of...
