Organic Chemistry II CHEM-2425 Ch 24 Carbon-Carbon Bond-Forming Reactions Part 2

Chapter 24 Lecture Video Part 2 Section 24.4 Carbenes and Cyclopropane Synthesis: Give the reagents needed to prepare dichlorocarbene or dibromocarbene. Give the products of a reaction between a carbene and an alkene taking into account the stereochemistry of the alkene. Know the reagents for converting a dihalo cyclopropane into a dialkyl cyclopropane. Section 24.5 Simmons-Smith Reaction: Know the reagents and give the products for a Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation. Give the correct stereochemistry for a Simmons-Smith reaction when appropriate. Section 24.6 Olefin Metathesis: Predict the products of a metathesis reaction using a Grubbs catalyst. Predict the products of a ring-closing metathesis using a Grubbs catalyst. Give the starting materials needed for producing a metathesis reaction product (both regular metathesis and ring-closing metathesis) using a Grubbs catalyst. These are the lectures that I use in my Organic Chemistry II course. The textbook I use is Smith, Janice "Organic Chemistry", McGraw Hill, 6th Ed., 2020, ISBN13: 9781260119107. Some images used in this video come from that textbook.
