Lithium diorganocopper (Gilman) reagents are prepared by treatment of an organolithium compound with copper(I) iodide. Decide wh
at lithium diorganocopper (Gilman) reagent is needed to convert 1-bromopropane into propylcyclohexane. Draw the structure of the organolithium compound that is used to prepare Gilman.
The Gilman reagent is a lithium and copper (diorganocopper) reagent with a general formula R2CuLi. R is an alkyl or aryl group.
They are useful in the synthesis of alkanes because they react with organic halides to replace the halide group with an R group.
In this particular instance, we intend to synthesize propylcyclohexane. The structure of the lithium diorganocopper (Gilman) reagent required is shown in the image attached to this answer.
electrons lie in the orbits of the atom. they are negatively charged and they are very small in size. they have very less mass than proton. ele tron has 1/1840 mass of proton.
