Answer for screen readers
The final product is option (e): C6H5CH=CC6H5.
More Information
This chemical reaction sequence is classic for an initial Wittig olefination followed by a Grignard reaction with the organolithium compound, forming a double bond between the phenyl groups (C6H5) and the carbon chain.
Tips
Common mistakes include overlooking the stereochemistry of the Wittig reaction or misunderstanding the role of C6H5Li in forming the final alkene.
