Chapter 26, Problem 26.6P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The product from the reactants is to be synthesized.

Concept introduction: One of the best examples of coupling reaction is Suzuki reaction. It involves the formation of $\text{R-R}$ bond by the reaction of alkylhalide and organoborane catalyzed by palladium $\left(0\right)$ complex.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The product from the reactants is to be synthesized.

Concept introduction: Organocuprate reagents $\left({\text{R}}_{\text{2}}\text{CuLi}\right)$ react with halides of organic compounds $\text{RX}$ to form coupling products. Only one R group is transferred to form the product, while the other becomes part of reaction’s by-product.
