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.
Brevicomin, the aggregation pheromone of the western pine bark beetle,
contains a bicyclic bridged ring system and is prepared by the acidcatalyzed
cyclization of 6,7-dihydroxy-nonan-2-one.
Devise a synthesis of 6,7-dihydroxynonan-2-one from 6-bromohexan-2-
one. You may also use three-carbon alcohols and any required organic
or inorganic reagents
