Grignard reagent is a versatile tool in synthetic organic chemistry. Using bromocyclopentane as a starting material, show how a Grignard reagent, X, is synthesized.
Reaction of X with water produces compound Y while treatment in carbon dioxide followed by hydrolysis forms compound Z. 3-methyl-2butanone reacts with X and hydrolyses to yield compound AA. Draw the structural formulae of compounds Y, Z and AA and write the chemical equations respectively.
If phenoxide ion is allowed to react with 1-bromopentane, pentyl phenyl ether is obtained. However, if cyclohexane is used as the alkyl halide, the major products are phenol and cyclohexene. Explain how these products were formed.
Alkylation of benzene with 1-chlorobutane in the presence of AlCl3 gave not only the expected butylbenzene product but also, as a major product, (1-methylpropyl)benzene.
Write an equation for the reaction
Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of butylbenzene
Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of (1-methylpropyl)benzene
