Organic Chemistry Synthesis Question

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around synthesizing a compound from a benzene ring with a methyl group and 1-butyne, aiming to create an oxacyclopropane. The user has successfully attached substituents to 1-butyne but is unsure how to make the methyl group on the benzene reactive with the resulting double bond. They consider using radical bromination to activate the methyl group but are concerned about potential radical addition to the benzene ring. The conversation includes a request for clarification on the desired product and a visual representation of the synthesis. Ultimately, the user seeks guidance on alternative methods to activate the methyl group without compromising the benzene structure.

Homework Statement
I have a benzene ring with one methyl group attached and 1-butyne as the two reagents. The final product is a combinination of both into one molecule with the alkyne group in the butyne becoming an oxacyclopropane and the first carbon in the alkyne becoming attached to the methyl group on the ring.

The attempt at a solution
I've gotten the substituents attached to the 1-butyne and am left with a double bond in order to react with the methyl group.

My question is how do I make the methyl group on the benzene ring reactive with the double bond? My initial thought was to add a halide to the methyl group through radical bromination, but wouldn't the benzene ring undergo radical addition in the process? Is there another way to make a methyl group reactive?

Thanks a bunch

Could you maybe draw the result, cause I don't exactly understand what you want to end up with.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
