Hydrocarbon 10 and ester 12 react upon heating to give a cycloaddition product D. (i) Suggest a structure for product D and provide a curved arrow mechanism that accounts for its formation. (ii) Draw the molecular orbitals corresponding to the HOMO of 10 and the LUMO of 12 and show that these are of suitable symmetry for a concerted cycloaddition to take place. (iii) Use frontier molecular orbital theory to account for the observation that the formation of D is faster in the presence of AlCl3. please answer all thank you
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.
