Chapter 26, Problem 26.50P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reagents that are needed to carry out the given transformations $\left[1\right]-\left[3\right]$ are to be stated.

Concept introduction: The treatment of an organic halide with an alkene in the presence of $\text{Pd}$ catalyst to form an alkene that is highly substituted with a new $\text{C}-\text{C}$ bond is known as Heck reaction. Generally $\left[\text{Pd}{\left(\text{OAc}\right)}_2\right]$ in the presence of $\left[\text{P}{\left(o\text{-tolyl}\right)}_3\right]$ is utilized as catalyst. The reaction is carried out in the presence of organic base, like ${\text{Et}}_{\text{3}}\text{N}$.
