Dear Colleagues,
I have a weird idea. Can anyone tell me if wittig reaction can be carried
out for a cyclic ester compound. Condition: strong nonaqueos base like
NaOMe, under room tempearture.
I feel that theoretically, the ylide can still attack the carbonile group
provided no saponification occurs under strong base condition.
Could antone please help to clear my doubt?

Thanks in advance,
Barnabas
