Concept introduction:
Grignard reagent is an organometallic compound. In Grignard reagent, the magnesium metal is directly attached to the carbon atom. Therefore, the carbon atom behaves as anion. Therefore, the properties of the Grignard reagent are almost same as the carbanions.

- How would you synthesize the following compounds from cyclohexanone? a) 1Methylcyclohexene b) 2Phenvlcyclohexanone c) cis1, 2Cyclohexanediol d) 1Cyclohexylcyclohexanolarrow_forwardThe acid-catalyzed dehydration of 1-methylcyclohexanol yields a mixture of two alkenes. How could you use 1H NMR to help you decide which was which?arrow_forwardTranexamic acid, a drug useful against blood clotting, is prepared commercially from p-methylbenzonitrile. Formulate the steps likely to be used in the synthesis. (Don’t worry about cis-trans isomers; heating to 300 C interconverts the isomers.)arrow_forward
