COREY HOUSE SYNTHESIS








Corey house synthesis  is useful to synthesize alkanes with odd number of carbons that are 
not possible with  WURTZ reaction in which  a mixture of alkanes are formed.

    no miss shruti .coreyhoyse synthesis requires a minimum of 2 carbons

    Does Corey house synthesis always give a substitution product ? Even if R is a tertiary alkyl ?

      if we are considering tertiary alkyl halide ,for reaction ,then
      due to steric hindrance of three alkyl groups ,sn2 reaction ,substitution does not take place , instead ,there exists greater possibility of elemination reaction , leaing to elemination product. R part of R2CuLi acts as a strong conjugate base and this leeds to elemination

    Can alkanes with even no of carbons be formed or mixture obtained
