(b)
To determine: The transformation of cyclohexanone to methylenecyclohexane without using a Wittig reaction and an explanation corresponding to Wittig reaction being a much better synthesis.
Interpretation: The transformation of cyclohexanone to methylenecyclohexane without using a Wittig reaction and an explanation corresponding to Wittig reaction being a much better synthesis is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The reaction of an aldehyde or ketone and phosphorous ylide to form an alkene is known as Wittig reaction. The Wittig reaction is useful for placing double bonds in less stable positions.
