Hi everyone,

Sorry for my messy computer drawings, but I am wondering whether the following organic synthesis is feasible.  I am not sure whether the Gilman reagent can have an sp2 hybridized carbon bonded to the CuLi group.  Thank you.

The Gilman reagent is fine, but that hydrobromination will give the Br at the other carbon.

I believe he has included "H2O2" with the HBr so it will be an anti-Markovnikov radical substitution reaction rather than a typical mono-bromination.

Oops.  You're right, my mistake!
