10.23 Show, by writing a suitable sequence of chemical equations, how you could prepare the following compound from cyclopentene and any necessary organic or inorganic reagents: (a) 2-Cyclopenten-1-ol
Organomagnesium compounds
The interaction of alkyl halide with Mg metal in a suitable ether solvent is the common method for the synthesis of the Grignard reagent.
Hydrolysis Grignard Reactions and Reduction
Organomagnesium halides are Grignard reagents. Francois Auguste Victor Grignard, a French chemist who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912, created these highly useful reagents.
Conversation of Cyclopentene to 2-Cyclopenten-1-ol two reactions occursiccurs in first, starting compound react with NBS brominating agent to form brominating product at allylic position. In second reaction allylic halide react with NaOH to form 2-Cyclopenten-1-ol as product of SN1 reaction mechanism.
