Wittig, G. (English spelling) WittigG

…A reaction that uses an ylide of a phosphorus compound (phosphorane or phosphonium) to convert the carbonyl (C=O) of an aldehyde or ketone to a methylene (C=CHR, where R is various substituents). It is called the Wittig reaction or Wittig reaction after its discoverer, Georg Wittig (1897-1987) of West Germany. Until then, there had been no reaction that could convert the carbonyl group of a ketone or aldehyde to C=CHR in one step, but the Wittig reaction made it possible, and Wittig was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1979. …

From [Chemistry]

…Metal hydrides, such as lithium aluminum hydride, became important reagents in organic synthesis as more powerful reducing agents. Herbert Charles Brown (1912- ) systematized the hydroboration reaction, which adds borane to unsaturated bonds to convert functional groups, while Georg Wittig (1897-1987) developed the carbon chain extension method (Wittig reaction) using phosphorus reagents. In the Wittig reaction, the reaction intermediate ylide plays an important role, and in the 20th century, organic chemistry made remarkable progress in the study of reaction intermediates and unstable molecular species, including ylides. …
