- Convert benzene into attached compound. You may also use any inorganic reagents and organic alcohols having four or fewer carbons. One step of the synthesis must use a Grignard reagent.arrow_forwardWhat happens when water, alcohols or other protic solvents are used in Grignard reactions?arrow_forwardWittig reactions with the following -chloroethers can be used for the synthesis of aldehydes and ketones. (a) Draw the structure of the triphenylphosphonium salt and Wittig reagent formed from each chloroether. (b) Draw the structural formula of the product formed by treating each Wittig reagent with cyclopentanone. Note that the functional group is an enol ether or, alternatively, a vinyl ether. (c) Draw the structural formula of the product formed on acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of each enol ether from part (b).arrow_forward
