Show two different methods to carry out the following transformation: a one-step method using a Wittig reagent, and a two-step method using a Grignard reagent. Which route, if any, is preferred?
Devise a synthesis of each alkene using a Wittig reaction to form the double bond. You may use benzene and organic alcohols having four or fewer carbons as starting materials and any required reagents. a. CH$_3$CH$_2$CH$_2$CH=CHCH$_3$ b. C$_6$H$_5$CH=CHCH$_2$CH$_2$CH$_3$ c. (CH$_3$)$_2$ C=CHCH(CH$_3$)$_2$
Devise three different methods to prepare each compound from benzene: (a) C$_6$H$_5$CH$_2$CH$_2$OH (2-phenylethanol); (b) C$_6$H$_5$COCH$_3$ (acetophenone). You may also use organic compounds that have one or two carbons, and any required inorganic reagents. At least two of the three methods must use a reaction of the organometallic reagents described in this chapter.
