A wittig reaction occurs when 4-methylbenzaldehyde and chloride are stirred together at room temperature in the presence of sodium hydroxide base. Draw the major isomer produced by this reaction.

See explanation

Explanation:

The wittig reaction is an organic reaction in which an aldehyde or a ketone reacts with a phosphonium ylide to give an alkene. This phoshonium ylide that participates in the reaction is usually generated insitu in the system by reaction of an alky or aryl triphenylphosphonium halide salt with a base(sodium hydroxide is mostly used).

In this particular reaction 4-methylbenzaldehyde and benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride were reacted together in the presence of sodium hydroxide and the product with the structure shown in the answer was obtained as the major isomer produced in the reaction.

indium, and thallium have three electrons i think

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
