(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.
