Grignard reagent is a versatile tool in synthetic organic chemistry. Using bromocyclopentane as a starting material, show how a Grignard reagent, X, is synthesized.
Reaction of X with water produces compound Y while treatment in carbon dioxide followed by hydrolysis forms compound Z. 3-methyl-2butanone reacts with X and hydrolyses to yield compound AA. Draw the structural formulae of compounds Y, Z and AA and write the chemical equations respectively.
An unknown compound A of molecular formula C10H18O reacts with H2SO4 to form two compounds (B and C)of molecular formula C10H16. B and C both react with H2 in the presence of Pd-C to form decalin. Ozonolysis of B forms D, and ozonolysis of C forms a diketone E of molecular formula C10H16O2. Identify the structures of compounds A, B, C, and E.
