Chapter 12.3, Problem 9P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It should be determined that which alcohol was formed from the reaction of ethylene oxide with the given organocuprates followed by the addition of acid.

Concept Introduction:

Gilman reagent: The lithium copper (diorganocopper) reagent compound $(R_{2}CuLi)$, these reagent are very useful because unlike Grignard reagent and organolithium reagents, they react with organic halides to replace the halide group. With an alkyl (R) group.

Organometallic reagents such as organocuprate $(R_{2}CuLi)$ have a transition as their metal atom, they are used to form new carbon-carbon bonds.

• Organocuprate $(R_{2}CuLi)$ are also known as Gilman Reagent.
• It is prepared from an organolithium compound by reaction with cuprous iodide in diethyl ether or THF as follows.
