I need to do Wittig reaction (methylenation) with aldehyde which contains
also enoate function (-CH=CH-CO2Me) on the other side of the chain.

OHC-CH(OBn)-CH(OBn)-CH(OBn)-CH=CH-CO2Me

Can you suggest more selective than conventional Wittig reagent for aldehyde
function or different conditions which would not cause reactions with
enoate.

(Tebbe and Takai reagents are being studied)
