Alkyl halides are useful intermediates in the synthesis of simple as well as complex molecules. As example alkyl halides can be converted into Grignard reagents with__________ , into dialkyl ___________ reagents, into Wittig reagents with __________ , all of which can be treated with various___________ compounds to obtain more complex molecules.

Answer 1

Alkyl halides are useful intermediates in the synthesis of simple as well as complex molecules. As example alkyl halides can be converted into Grignard reagents with magnesium , into dialkyl copper reagents, into Wittig reagents with acid phosphones , all of which can be treated with various carbonyl compounds to obtain more complex molecules.

Explanation:

ALKYL HALLIDES (Haloalkanes)

Haloalkanes are another name for alkyl halides. Alkyl halides are compounds in which halogen atoms have substituted one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane (fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine).
