The design of a catalytic manifold for the Wittig reaction is highlighted. Arsenine‐, telluride‐, and the recently discovered phosphine‐catalyzed processes are discussed and placed into context with the related silyl‐Reformatsky process. The specific type of phosphine oxide precatalyst employed is compared with an aza‐Wittig process and related transformations.
