Am I correct so far?
-
Its really not very good to alkylate alkyllithium compounds with alkyl iodides, better make cuprate. Its possible it works but very slow. Also its likely you get halogen-metal exchange rather than substitution.
-
@OP, What sort of reaction do you intend for A to B?
-
A to B.... has an alkene and a diene.. Did they teach you Diels-Alder?
-
Yes isn't what I did diels Alder from A to B?
-
@OP, What is the product of a standard Diels-Alder reaction?
-
The alkene is not a dienophile, but still give DA?
-
Rolnor - you CAN force 1,3-butadiene and ethene to do a Diels-Alder reaction at high pressure. This is a paper synthesis - being intra molecular is a little like higher pressure! I don't see what else an alkene and diene will do with just heat.
-
These questions don't concern with the actual practicability of the reaction. These are just practice questions.
-
Then do an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction correctly.
-
Yeah, my bad..I was going for Diels Alder but messed it up
-
OK, I understand.
