    So one can imagine the first step of the Wittig reaction as being the attack of the nucleophilic ylide carbon on the electrophilic carbonyl carbon, providing a species with a negative charge on oxygen and a positive charge on phosphorus.  This is the classic “addition” (sometimes called “1,2-addition”) mechanism to carbonyls.

    In chemistry, a zwitterion is a molecule that contains an equal number of positively- and negatively-charged functional groups.

    A betaine  in chemistry is any neutral chemical compound with a positively charged cationic functional group such as a quaternary ammonium or phosphonium cation (generally: onium ions) that bears no hydrogen atom and with a negatively charged functional group such as a carboxylate group that may not be adjacent to the cationic site. A betaine is a specific type of zwitterion.
