Microwave irradiation accelerates some difficult Wittig reactions of stable phosphorus ylides (e.g. 1) with ketones. Irradiation in a domestic microwave oven of the mixture of reactants, in absence of solvents, allowed to obtain, in shorter times, an improvement of transformation yields over conventional heating method.
