(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.

- Draw 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_forwardWhat acetylide anion and alkyl halide can be used to prepare each alkyne?
