Chapter 20, Problem 20.29P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The organocuprate reagent needed to convert ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{COCl}$ to given ketone is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Acid chlorides, which contains good leaving group $\text{Cl}$, on reaction with organocuprate give ketone as a product. Alkyl group from organocuprate occupies the position of leaving group $\text{Cl}$.
