The alkyl groups in the dialkylcuprate reagent can be phenyl groups or 1° alkyl groups but not 2° or 3° due to: а. The steric hindrance in 20 and 30 alkyl groups, seems to make R2CuLi less reactive toward R'X. b. With 20 and 30 alkyls, R2CuLi tends to be stable O and do not decomposes before reacting with R'X C. Phenyl groups and 1o alkyl groups in dialkylcuprate reagent makes the reaction yield is very low d. All of these choices are incorrect

Question
The alkyl groups in the dialkylcuprate reagent can be
phenyl groups or 1° alkyl groups but not 2° or 3° due
to:
a.
The steric hindrance in 20 and 30 alkyl groups,
seems to make R2CuLi less reactive toward R'X.
b.
With 20 and 3o alkyls, R2CuLiİ tends to be stable
and do not decomposes before reacting with R'X
С.
Phenyl groups and 10 alkyl groups in
dialkylcuprate reagent makes the reaction yield
is very low
d.
All of these choices are incorrect
