Chapter 16, Problem 38P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The synthesis of the given products from benzyl bromide needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

>

Electrophiles are electron deficient species which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles which accept electron pair.

>

Nucleophiles are electron rich species which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles which donate electron pair.

>

Grignard reagent or RMgX can be synthesized from haloalkanes by reacting them with magnesium in the presence of dry ether.

>

Phosphorus ylides can be prepared from alkyl halides on reaction with triphenyl phosphine in the presence of a strong base, such as butyl lithium.

>

Grignard reagent or phosphorus ylides react with carbonyl compounds to form alcohols and alkenes, respectively.

>

Treatment of epoxides with Grignard reagent results in the formation primary alcohols.

>

The Grignard reagent or RMgX is a polar organometallic reagent that undergoes nucleophilic addition reaction with aldehydes and ketones. It contains organic group which is covalently bonded to magnesium atom, which is also bonded to halogen atom.

>

Benzyl bromide is converted to benzyl magnesium bromide in the presence of dry ether.

>

Benzyl magnesium bromide on reaction with epoxide forms a primary alcohol, which on mild oxidation yields the aldehyde.
