Hi I am taking a summer course in organic chermisty and I need to make the following alkenes through a grignard reaction.

 

5-methyl-1-hexene

2,5,5-trimethyl-2-heptene

 

How do i go about to do this?

 

I'm sure i could find the answed in my textbook, but since it wasnt in stock at the book store i have'nt gotten it yet.

 

Thanx in advance

Im not sure about using Grignards to make alkenes....there are easier ways to alkenes than using them...my guess eold be to have formaldehyde and treat that with 4-methyl pentant-1-magnesium bromide and then treating this with a strong acid to eliminate water generating the alkene
