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.
