(a)
To determine: The method of synthesis of given compounds by reaction of Grignard reagent and an epoxide.
Interpretation: The method of synthesis of given compounds is to be stated by reaction of Grignard reagent and an epoxide.
Concept introduction: Steric hinderance limits Grignard reactions. The yield of reaction of Grignard reagents with ethylene oxide and monsubstituted
(b)
To determine: The reagents required to synthesis given alcohols and the reason for the reaction to be unlikely to succeed with Grignard reagent.
Interpretation: The reagents required to synthesis given alcohols and the reason for the reaction to be unlikely to succeed with Grignard reagent is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Steric hinderance limits Grignard reactions. The yield of reaction of Grignard reagents with ethylene oxide and monsubstituted epoxides is high. But the yield is much lower with disubstituted epoxides. Grignard reagents hardly react with tri or tetrasubstituted epoxides.

- Please see photoarrow_forward=Naming benzene derivatives Name these organic compounds: structure C1 CH3 name ☐ CH3 ப C1 × ☐arrow_forwardBlocking Group are use to put 2 large sterically repulsive group ortho. Show the correct sequence toconnect the reagent to product with the highest yield possible. * see image **NOTE: The compound on the left is the starting point, and the compound on the right is the final product. Please show the steps in between to get from start to final, please. These are not two different compounds that need to be worked.arrow_forward
