Get started for freeThe Reformatsky reaction is an addition reaction in which an organozinc reagent is used instead of a Grignard reagent to add to the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or a ketone. Because the organozinc reagent is less reactive than a Grignard reagent, a nucleophilic addition to the ester group does not occur. The organozinc reagent is prepared by treating an ß-bromo ester with zinc.
Describe how each of the following compounds can be prepared, using a Reformatsky reaction:

Orsellinic acid, a common constituent of lichens, is synthesized from the condensation of acetyl thioester and malonyl thioester. If a lichen is grown on amedium containing acetate that was radioactively labeled with 14C at the carbonyl carbon, which carbons will be labelled in orsellinic acid?
