Complete the following reactions: (i) (the reaction shown in the figure) (ii) (C₆H₅CH₂)₂Cd + 2CH₃COCl → (iii) (the reaction shown in the figure)(i)(iii)
Answer: (ii) 2C₆H₅CH₂COCH₃ + CdCl₂ (dialkylcadmium + acid chloride → ketone). (i)/(iii): products per the printed reagents.
Solution
(ii) Dibenzylcadmium with acetyl chloride stops at the ketone:
(1-phenylpropan-2-one). (i), (iii) Complete from the figure: the displayed substrate + reagent follow the standard carbonyl transformations (reduction to alcohol, oxidation to acid, condensation with the shown amine derivative) — write the corresponding product.
