Draw the major organic product for the reaction of 1-phenylpropan-1-one with the provided phosphonium ylide in part 1. In part 2 answer the question about the transformation.

2-methylene propylbenzene (major product)

Explanation:

This reaction yields olefins and organophosphorus compound and is also known as wittig olefination. The reactants fits the category of a ketone (1-phenylpropan-1-one) and a Wittig reagent (phosphonium ylide).

Part 1: Answer in the fig. Below.

1-phenylpropan-1-one + phosphonium ylide ➡ phenylallyl compound + 2-methylene propylbenzene (major product)

Part 2.

Classical mechanisms that happened during its transformation are thus;

• nucleophilic addition

• Elimination

• cycloaddition

• [2+2]/retro-[2+2] mechanism.

a) the particles of the chair are strongly held together.

so what is the problem with your lab report and whats the subject of the lab report? i will you
