Indeed, the Wittig reaction with esters and other carbonyl compounds is
possible, more detailed information could be consulted in the following
review article:
P.J. Murphy and J. Brennan
The Wittig Olefination Reaction with carbonyl compounds other than
aldehydes and ketones.
Chem. Soc. Rev. 17: 1-30 (1988).
Sincerely
