**Reaction 1: Toluene to A** The starting material is toluene (benzene ring with a $$CH_3$$ group). The reagents are $$Br_2$$ and light. This indicates a free radical halogenation reaction, which occurs at the benzylic position. Toluene + $$Br_2$$ (light) -> Show more…

Compound I, C3H5Br, reacts with magnesium in dry ether to form C3H5MgBr. Treating C3H5MgBr with formaldehyde followed by acid hydrolysis produces C4H8O, compound II. When three moles of C4H8O are treated with phosphorus tribromide, three moles of C4H7Br, compound III, are formed. Treating C4H7Br with magnesium in dry ether, followed by treatment with p-ethoxybenzaldehyde, resulted in the production of C14H19O2MgBr. Acid hydrolysis of C14H19O2MgBr produces C14H20O2, compound IV. Suggest structures for compounds I, II, III, and IV and write balanced equations that result in the formation of compounds I, II, III, and IV. The proton magnetic resonance structure for Compound IV would exhibit a distinct pattern at around 7.0 ppm (because of diamagnetic anisotropy). Draw what that distinct pattern would look like.

Compound A (C7H11Br) is treated with magnesium in ether to give B (C7H11MgBr), which reacts violently with D2O togive 1-methylcyclohexene with a deuterium atom on the methyl group (C). Reaction of B with acetone (CH3COCH3)followed by hydrolysis gives D (C10H18O). Heating D with concentrated H2SO4 gives E (C10H16), which decolorizestwo equivalents of Br2 to give F (C10H16Br4). E undergoes hydrogenation with excess H2 and a Pt catalyst to giveisobutylcyclohexane. Determine the structures of compounds A through F, and show your reasoning throughout
