Title: Organic Reagent Mind Map
Post by: 786mine on May 18, 2005, 03:07:34 AM

Anyhow, here is my attempt. Let me know what you think is correct and what is wrong. Also, could you explain exactly what CH₃MgCl or CH₃MgBr would do when added to an alkyne, I know when it it is added to a alkene, it makes diols but what happens to alkeynes?

correction to what you said: alkenes + organometals ---> do not form diols

hint: alkynes + organolithium or grignard reagent ---> think acid-base reaction

check some of your markovnikov/anti-mark remember the difference is the presence of peroxides
