Use of organometallics in synthesis as nucleophiles and bases 6. Preparation and use of organozinc intermediates 7. Preparation and use of carbenes and carbenoids 8. Reaction of any organometallic as a nucleophile with any substrate. Preparation and reaction of dihalocarbenes 3.
Organometallic compounds are usually strong bases.
We will omit section 14.15. Know how to name thiols and be aware that the term mercaptan refers to a thiol. A number of new reactions are presented in Chapter 1 5. In addition we must recall quite a few reactions involving alcohols from previous chapters. Reaction of Grignard reagents with epoxides 3.
