Chapter 23, Problem 69IP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The coupling partners that results to form the given compound via Suzuki coupling reaction should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

E-Z designators are used as like cis-trans terminology for non-similar groups attached alkenes.

In E-Z designations, the groups attached to vinylic positions are checked by their priority on the basis of higher molecular weight. If the higher priority groups are on the same sides, then the configuration is designated as Z. If the higher priority groups are on the opposite sides, then the configuration is designated as E.

Suzuki reaction: It involves coupling of an aryl, a benzyl or vinyl halide with organoborane in presence of ${\text{Pd(PPh}}_{\text{3}}{\text{)}}_{\text{4}}$.
