Question

The following molecule can be synthesized from an epoxide and alkyllithium reagent, followed by aqueous workup. However, there are two ways in which this molecule can be formed. In one approach, the epoxide has a higher molecular weight than the epoxide used in the other approach. Draw both versions in the boxes below. Draw the carbon-lithium bond as a covalent bond.Part 1:Draw the combination of epoxide and alkyllithium reagent that uses a lower molecular weight epoxide.Part 2: Draw the combination of epoxide and alkyllithium reagent that uses a higher molecular weight epoxide.
