Consider the sequence of reactions below. In this sequence of reactions, an unsaturated ketone is treated with a Gilman reagent, followed by treatment with an aqueous base. The base allows a rapid equilibration to take place, producing the more stable stereoisomer of the product. 1. Et,CuLi 2. Equilibration with base For this process: show both stereoisomeric products, explain which is more stable, and explain why aqueous base allows equilibration between the stereoisomers.
