Chapter 8, Problem 60P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The possible product of indicated reaction and major stereoisomer formed should be predicted.

  ORGANIC CHEMISTRY (LL)-PACKAGE, Chapter 8, Problem 60P , additional homework tip  1

Concept introduction: The carbonyl bond is polar with partial positive charge on carbon and partial negative charge on oxygen as illustrated below.

Grignard reagents are alkyl magnesium halides obtained from treatment of haloalkane with magnesium in presence of dried ether conditions. These reagents are useful precursor for quick synthesis of variety of organic compounds For example, the reaction of Grignard reagent with aldehyde or ketone generates alcohol as illustrated below.
