Ethoxycarbonylmethyl(triphenyl)phosphonium bromide (CAS 1427-89-6) is a key Wittig reagent used in organic synthesis. Its molecular formula is C20H19BrO2P. This salt serves as the precursor for generating stabilized ylides, facilitating carbon-carbon bond formation to produce α,β-unsaturated esters via reaction with aldehydes or ketones.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers. Use appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection to avoid skin contact and inhalation. Do not ingest; keep out of reach of children.
