In the following reaction, a Wittig reagent is generated in situ by mixing the phosphonium salt with a strong base, in the presence of an aldehyde (note that ester groups are generally not reactive toward Wittig reagents). Predict the product of this reaction. Note that NaHMDS is a strong base with a negative charge on nitrogen, like NaNH2.
