  "term": "Oxonium ylides",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Dipolar chemical species in which a negatively charged carbon atom (a carbanion) is directly attached to a positively charged trivalent oxygen atom (an oxonium center). These are 1,2-dipolar species with the general structure R2O+-C-R'2. Oxonium ylides are highly reactive intermediates and are isomeric with the corresponding ethers.",
