4. an organomagnesium halide, RMgX.
5. a solvent that that contains an H on a N, O, or X.
6. a compound that contains chirality centers but is nevertheless achiral because it contains a plane of symmetry.
8. planning an organic synthesis by working backward from the final product to the starting material.
13. a substance that is used to start a radical chain reaction
