1the question is NOT mis-typed.
A: c=c-cmgx
B: ph-x
C: c=c-c-ph
D(anti),E(syn): c-c=c-ph
Grignard reagent A and a haloalkane B react together to give C.
Compound C on heating with KOH gives a mixture of two geometrical isomers D and E of which D predominates.
C and E have same molecular formula and C gives 1-bromo-3-
phenylpropane on reaction with HBr in presence of peroxide.
Give the structures of A, B and C and configurations of D and E with reasons.

39Shouldn't it be haloalkene B?
Because if C reacts with HBr/ROOR, it would be anti-Markownikov addition to the double bond...
(A) PhMgX and (B) CH2=CH-CH2X where X is halogen?
