4. Suggest the major product for the reaction of t-butylmagnesium bromide with compound A followed by acid hydrolysis. What is the IUPAC name for this compound?
The major product is trans-(e,e)-1,4-di-t-buty-1-cyclohexanol 5. Predict the major product expected from reacting the following
compound with excess phenylmagnesium iodide followed by acid hydrolysis.
6. Compound I, C3H5Br, reacts with magnesium in dry ether to
form C3H5MgBr. Treating C3H5MgBr with formaldehyde followed by acidic hydrolysis produces C4H8O, compound II.

When three moles of C4H8O are treated with phosphorous tribromide, three moles of C4H7Br, compound III, are formed. Treating C4H7Br with magnesium in dry ether, followed by treatment with p-ethoxybenzaldehyde, resulted in the production of C13H17OMgBr. Acid hydrolysis of C13H17OMgBr produces C13H17OH, compound IV.
Suggest structures for compounds I, II, III, and IV.

compound II
compound III

compound IV 7. Ferrocene is readily oxidized to ferrocenium ion by hydroxyl
radicals or other kinds of free radicals. Consequently, ferrocene may serve as a therapeutic agent for treating cancer. The reaction for ferrocene as a chemical to treat cancer may be described by the following equation.
Suggest a synthesis for ferrocene from cyclopentadiene.

8. Suggest the product with the appropriate stereochemistry
produced when (2S)-2-bromobutane reacts with lithium n-propylcuprate.
The Cory-House reaction works best when the lithium dialkylcuprate reagent reacts with a primary alkyl halide. The reaction works reasonably well for unhindered secondary alkyl halides. Therefore, keeping in mind that the mechanism of the Cory-House reaction has not yet been clearly elucidated, an assumption can be made that the reaction probably takes place by backside attack of the lithium dialkylcuprate reagent. If this assumption is correct, then the product would be (3R)-3-methylhexane.

9. Suggest the major product expected for the following reaction.
compound I (cyclohexyl tosylate) Give a rational for your answer.
The major product would be the elimination product:
The reaction would proceed through an elimination bimolecular mechanism, because the tosyl group is an excellent leaving group, and the reaction involves a strong base.
