QUESTION 2
Think retrosynthetically. Consider the bonding patterns and connectivity in your product. What type of electrophile was paired with the organometallic reagent that was used to form the new C-C bond?
O A Aldehyde
O B. Alkyl bromide
O C. Ketone
O D. Epoxide
QUESTION 3
Think retrosynthetically. Consider the bonding patterns and connectivity in your product and the new piece that was added. Which organometallic reagent was used to form the new C-C bond?
A)
OH
B)
MgBr
D)
C) MgBr
MgBr
MgBr
O A
B
C
O D
QUESTION 4
Based on your previous retrosynthetic analysis, you should determine the structure of the Intermediate Product and whether you need to convert your starting material into the organometallic nucleophile or the electrophile.
Compare the structure of your starting material to the structure of the Intermediate Product. What is Reagent 1?
O A NaH
О В. СIMS, рyridine
O C. H2SO4, heat
