Dear colleagues,
I have a weird idea. wittig reaction can be easily performed on ketone or
aldehyde. can anyone please tell me if is possible for a cyclic ester?! if
not, is it because the reaction simply can't happen or fear of hydrolysis
(saponification) that may take place?
Please advice and thanks in advance.

Regards,
barnabas
