A synthetic trap occurs when a reaction can give more than one desired product. For the reaction below, draw the structures of the two organic
compounds that were actually formed following the addition of \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Li}\) and subsequent aqueous acid workup.

Draw the structures of the two organic compounds which were actually isolated so that all eleven carbons involved in the reactions are accounted for in your answer.
Organolithium compounds act as strong bases. So, it abstracts hydrogen from the alcoholic OH group to form two products. They are shown below:
The actual products formed in the given reaction are,

A synthetic trap occurs when a reaction can give more than one desired product. For the reaction below, draw the stuctures of the two organic compounds that were actually formed following addition of CH3CH2Li and subsequent aqueous acid workup.
Exercise 2 Separation of a Mixture Based on Acid-Base Properties One purpose of this exercise is to learn how to use a separatory funnel to extract a single component away from other compounds in solution. To do so, we will apply the principles of solubility and acid-base behavior you’re seeing in class. One of the compounds is neutral in the acid-base sense. It has no ability to either donate or accept a proton from an aqueous solution, and will remain...
