CH3C(-)H-P-Ph3 + PhCHO → PhCH=CHCH3 + Ph3PO

Ylide (or betaine) + Aldehyde -> Alkene

Those chemical equations up there were in the middle of the article. They did not make any sense being there at all. Was there a reason? I assume they're something Georg had something to do with, so I moved them here. --Phroziac (talk) 14:55, 5 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
