Chapter 8.7, Problem 8.16E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Synthesis of pentan-1-ol (alcohol) using a starting material containing no more than four carbons needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction: Organometallic reagents of lithium used in the formation of alcohol by reacting with carbonyl compounds. In organometallic reagent, the alkyl part is negatively charged which acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl carbon to form alcohol.

In this reaction, the number of carbons in the carbonyl chain increases.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Synthesis of heptan-7-ol (alcohol) using a starting material containing no more than four carbons needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction: Organometallic reagents of magnesium that is Grignard reagent (RMgX) used in the formation of alcohol by reacting with carbonyl compounds. In organometallic reagent, the alkyl part is negatively charged which acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl carbon to form alcohol.

(c)

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Synthesis of 2-methylpentan-2-ol (alcohol) using a starting material containing no more than four carbons needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction: Organometallic reagents of magnesium that is Grignard reagent (RMgX) used in the formation of alcohol by reacting with carbonyl compounds. In organometallic reagent, the alkyl part is negatively charged which acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl carbon to form alcohol.
