c.

What are the products of the following reactions?

a.

Identify compounds A and B:

A dibromide loses only one bromine when it reacts with sodium hydroxide. The dibromide forms toluene (C₆H₅-CH₃) when it reacts with magnesium shavings in ether followed by treatment with dilute acid. Give possible structures for the dibromide.

Using the given starting material, any necessary inorganic reagents and catalysts, and any carbon-containing compounds with no more than three carbons, indicate how each of the following compounds can be prepared:

e.

The Reformatsky reaction is an addition reaction in which an organozinc reagent is used instead of a Grignard reagent to add to the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or a ketone. Because the organozinc reagent is less reactive than a Grignard reagent, a nucleophilic addition to the ester group does not occur.

The organozinc reagent is prepared by treating an α-bromo ester with zinc.

Describe how each of the following compounds can be prepared, using a Reformatsky reaction:
