It is possible to generate sulfur ylides in a manner similar to that used to produce phosphonium ylides. For example, treating a sulfonium salt with a strong base gives the sulfur ylide. CH3 strong Ph. base CH3 Ph Br Ph CH3 `CH3 Ph A sulfonium bromide salt A sulfur ylide Sulfur ylides react with ketones to give epoxides. Suggest a mechanism for this reaction. Ph. CH3 CH `st=c CH3 CH, + Ph,S Ph
