This reaction is used to create an alpha, beta unsaturated ester in the third scheme of the total synthesis of Callystatin A. One of the first industrial uses of this reaction was the BSAF vitamin A synthesis. This reaction can be used to prepare stilbene from benzaldehye. A variant of this reaction which has a water soluble by-product is the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. This reaction has a betaine intermediate. Reagents for this reaction that have their anion stabilized by a carbonyl tend to produce E products. This reaction is often performed with a triphenyl phosphonium compound. For 10 points, name this alkene forming reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with an ylide.
