Concept explainers
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
Grignard reagent or phosphorus ylides react with carbonyl compounds to form alcohols and
Treatment of
The Grignard reagent or RMgX is a polar organometallic reagent that undergoes nucleophilic addition reaction with
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.
