Consider the sequence of reactions below. In this sequence of reactions, an unsaturated ketone is treated with a Gilman reagent, followed by treatment with an aqueous base. The base allows a rapid equilibration to take place, producing the more stable stereoisomer of the product. 1. Et,CuLi 2. Equilibration with base For this process: show both stereoisomeric products, explain which is more stable, and explain why aqueous base allows equilibration between the stereoisomers.

Muscone synthesis is possible via an intramolecular Prins reaction. The starting point is cyclododecatriene, which his subjected topartial ozonolysis.With one aldehyde group protected,the other is reacted with isobutenyl magnesium chloride, and the protecting group is hydrolysed off. Then follows what is formally a Prins reaction,and etherification results in cyclisation to the bicyclic dihydropyran. Hydrogenation (at high T) finally gives racemic muscone. a. How to remove the protective group? b. What happens if you don't use a protective group?
