Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the product formed in the reaction is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Lithium diorganocuprates are known as Gilman reagents.

Reaction of an alkyl halide with a lithium dialkyl cuprate results in the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond between the alkyl group of the halide and that of the cuprate.

When the two alkyl grups that are joined from the two reactants are different, the reaction is known as cross-coupling.

If the alkyl halide is a vinyl halide, then the stereochemistry of the double bond is retained in the product.
