Question

Preparation of n pentan by coreyhouse synthesis

Answer 1

Answer:

1)1-iodopropane reacts with lithium to form propyl lithium. 2)When propyl lithium reacts with cuprous iodide, it forms lithium dipropyl cuprate (Gilmann reagent). 3) When lithium dipropyl cuprate reacts with ethyl iodide, it forms n-pentane.
