Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given
Concept introduction:
Grignard reagents are
(b)
Interpretation: The given alkene is to be synthesized using Wittig reagent and organometallic reagent.
Concept introduction: Aldehyde can be directly converted to alkene using triphenyl phosphonium ylide. The geometry of the alkene formed, depends on the stability of the ylides.
Grignard reagents are organometallic compounds which are prepared using alkyl halides in presence of magnesium metal in dry ether. These reagents act as strong nucleophiles and bases.

- Devise a synthesis of each compound from ethanol (CH3CH2OH) as the only source of carbon atoms. You may use any other organic or inorganic reagents you choose.arrow_forwardDraw the product formed from the ring-closing metathesis of each compound. Then, devise a synthesis of each metathesis starting material from benzene, alcohols with four or fewer carbons, and any needed organic or inorganic reagents.arrow_forwardDevise a synthesis of each compound. You may use HC=CH, ethylene oxide, and alkyl halides as organic starting materials and any inorganic reagents.arrow_forward
- What acetylide anion and alkyl halide can be used to prepare each alkyne? Indicate all possibilities when more than one route will work.arrow_forwardSynthesize each compound from cyclohexanone and organic halides having ≤ 4 C's. You may use any other inorganic reagents.arrow_forwardGive the IUPAC name for each aldehyde.arrow_forward
- What alkyl halide and nucleophile are needed to prepare each compound?arrow_forwardLabel the alkene in each drug as E or Z. Enclomiphene is one component of the fertility drug Clomid. Tamoxifen is an anticancer drug.
