Chapter 10, Problem 7E

Topic: Reactions of benzene    Starting from benzene, synthesize the following compounds. Write the complete reagent/s and intermediate product/s. The step by step mechanism (movement of arrow) is not necessary.

Hello, I do not understand these questions and I am stuck. May I get help please please?? Question: Synthesize the following compounds using the rules provided using the alkyne shown and other compounds each containing 1 carbon must be incorporated into structure using the cyclopentene shown and one other 1 carbon compound must be incorporated into final product

Can I get some help with this two-part problem? Draw a structural formula for each of the substitution products of the reactions shown below. A good explanation but a clear answer would be very much appreciated :)

Can you please help show how to do the syntheses for this molecule with the given reactant?

Organometallic compounds act as nucleophiles under very specific conditions, and can generate alcohols, alkanes, among others. Describe in detail what these reaction conditions are so that organometallics can perform the addition reaction to carbonyl.

The transformation below takes place by two distinct reactions. Intermediate A is formed in the first reaction and then this goes on to the product in the second reaction. Provide a complete curved-arrow mechanism for all steps of both reactions.

Please perform the following organic synthesis transformation with steps shown.

In base-catalyzed halogenation of acetone, the second (and third) on the same carbon. How do you explain why while halogenation takes place, it does not occur on the carbon in the other methyl group?

Can you please help propose a syntheses for this molecule using the given reactant?
