Cumene Synthesis

Well if this doesn't look like homework...

It looks like you're using the wrong reagents to produce C. What you should do is find a different collection of reagents that will produce C. Now if C freely dissociates like an ionic salt in water (A+B↔C) then you're out of luck as long as you try to do this in an aqueous media.

(I love telling a student that the teacher has set a trap. Good luck using my answer. )

A+B = C

C+B = D

Your grade = F

Also an undesired reaction, btw.

So this is a homework problem. Did you notice that this web site has a policy against homework cheating. Good bye.
