Concept explainers
Interpretation:The missing reagent required in the synthetic transformation scheme indicated should be filled sequentially.
Concept introduction:Grignard reagents are
Methyl bromide reacts with magnesium ether to give Grignard reagent. This Grignard methyl magnesium bromide on treatment with formaldehyde gives corresponding alcohol. The mechanistic pathway for the latter reaction is as follows:
The polar carbonyl bond breaks and the polar Grignard reagent attack at electron-deficient carbon. Finally with the hydrolysis and work up the alcohol is formed.

- Several reagents and several organic structures are shown below. Construct a multistep synthetic route from the reactant 2-methyl-1-butene to the product 3-bromo-2-methyl-2-butanol by dragging the appropriate pieces into the bins. Note that each bin will hold only one item, and not every given reagent or structure will be used.arrow_forwardFill in the missing reagents, conditions, intermediates or products in each box below.arrow_forwardWhat are the necessary reagents A-D (include any necessary work-up steps) needed to produce the intermediates and final product shown in the above synthetic scheme?arrow_forward
