Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Two different ways of synthesizing the given compound via carbene addition by using a different alkene are to be provided.
Concept introduction:
A carbene is a species containing a carbon atom that has two bonds and a lone pair of electrons. Carbenes are typically highly electrophilic due to the lack of an octet and are
Chloroform is a precursor to generate a carbene. When an alkyl trihalide is treated with a strong base in the presence of cyclohexane, a dihalocarbene is generated in two steps via
In an electrophilic addition reaction,
