Preparation of Organometallic Reagents from Grignard Reagents - Grignard reagents may be used to prepare other organometallic reagents, for example, ethylmagnesium bromide reacts with cadmium chloride to yield diethylcadmium. 2CH3CH2MgCl + CdCl2 yields (CH3CH2)2Cd + 2MgCl2 Indicate the product of the following reactions and name the organometallic product. (A) 4CH3MgCl + SiCl4 yields ? (...

Propose a suitable mechanism - Propose a suitable mechanism for the formation of the mixed anhydride in the reaction indicated below: C6H5CH2CO2H + (CF3CO)2O yields C6H5CH2C-O-CCF3 (also has an O double bonded to the third C with two single pairs of electrons on the O. the same is double bonded to the fourth C. the middle O also have two lone electron pairs) + CF3CO2H

Perkin and related reactions - There are numerous condensations that are closely related to the Perkin reaction. Among these are the aldol /3Badv/, and /A3a/, Knoevenagel, Claisen, and Dickmann condensations. What general class of compounds can be prepared using each of these well-known reactions?

Friedel-Crafts Acylation - I have a problem with Fiedel-Crafts reactions and I am not sure of the end results of the product. Could you please explain to me the attached question?

nucleophilic aromatic substitution - Show the intermediates including all the resonance hybrid structures for the pentyl anion, that are formed. What products would expect to form and in what ratio. For some reason, I don't believe my reactions are done correctly. Could you please explain it to me the correct way? (please see the attachment)
