Question:

Suggest structures for X and Y in the reaction sequence given in Fig. P18.76, including their stereochemistry.

Suggest a mechanism for the formation of Y. Notice that aluminum (Al) is just below boron (B) in the periodic table; to predict X, imagine that the Al is a B and ask how that compound would react with an alkene.X + C=C H C=C-H+ [iBu]Al-H Figure P18.76 H diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) Pd(PPH3)4 catalyst X Y
