Interpretation:
The reason corresponds to the statement that trimethylphosphine is unsuitable for making most phosphorous ylides is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A molecule that is phosphorus-stabilized carbanion is an ylide. This molecule does not have overall charge, but is consists of negatively charged carbon atom bonded to a positively charged heteroatom.
Phosphorus ylides are produced from

Trimethylphosphine is a stronger nucleophile than triphenylphosphine, but it is rarely usedto make ylides. Why is trimethylphosphine unsuitable for making most phosphorus ylides?
Explain using resonance structures of the intermediates (please explain and draw them out) why the bromination of phenol is faster than the bromination of phenyl ester?
How does the negative inductive effect (−I) of chlorine in the ortho position of the phenol, reduce the negative charge, located on the oxygen of the phenolate anion? Is this why the Oxygen in the phenolate ion will act as a worse nucleophile if the Chlorine is in the ortho position vs the para position?
