The Reformatsky reaction is an addition reaction in which an organozinc reagent is used instead of a Grignard reagent to add to the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or a ketone. Because the organozinc reagent is less reactive than a Grignard reagent, a nucleophilic addition to the ester group does not occur. The organozinc reagent is prepared by treating an a-bromo ester with zinc. +ZnBr ОН CH;CH CH,CH,CHCH .C OCH3 CH;CH,CHCH .C OCH3 OCH3 Но CH3CH CH3 ZnBr organozinc reagent ČH3 B-hydroxy ester Describe how each of the following compounds can be prepared, using a Reformatsky reaction: ОН ОН ОН C.

The anticoagulant Warfarin can be synthesized by a conjugate addition (Michael addition) reaction as shown below: a) Propose a mechanism for the reaction starting from the enolate shown below. You can assume water is present for any proton transfers needed.b) We saw that the keto tautomer is normally preferred over the enol tautomer, however, the enol tautomer is present in the final product (Warfarin) and that is the more stable tautomer in this case. Why do you think the enol tautomer is more stable? Hint: consider the molecule as a whole.
