A nonclassical form of this reaction was recently proposed to account for the conversion of Weinreb amides into ketones.

Though the cis product is usually favored, the addition of a strong base to an early step favors the trans product, as seen in the Schlosser modification of this reaction. In this reaction, the reaction of triphenylphosphine and an alkyl halide produces a phosphonium ion, which can react with a strong base to produce an ylid. For ten points, name this reaction, named for its Nobel Prize-winning discoverer, which results in the formation of an alkene.
