The Wittig reaction has become a popular method for alkene synthesis precisely because of its wide applicability. Unlike elimination reactions (such as dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides), which produce mixtures of alkene regioisomers determined by Saytzeff's rule, the Wittig reaction forms the double bond in one position with no ambiguity.
