Reactants Used:
1. \( \text{LiAlH}_4 \) (Lithium Aluminium Hydride)
2. \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \) (Water)
Reaction Scheme:
- The starting material, which is a carboxylic acid, reacts with \( \text{LiAlH}_4 \) followed by water to produce a product.
(The specific product is not indicated in the problem statement and should be deduced based on the reaction conditions)
---
### Problem 15
Starting Materials:
- An organomagnesium bromide compound (Grignard reagent)
- Ethylene oxide (an epoxide)
Reaction Scheme:
- The Grignard reagent reacts with the epoxide to open the epoxide ring and form a new carbon-carbon bond.
(The specific product is not indicated in the problem statement and should be deduced based on the reaction conditions)
