Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The  Gilman reagent is a lithium and copper (diorganocopper) reagent with a general formula R2CuLi.  R is an alkyl or aryl group.

They are useful in the synthesis of alkanes because they react with organic halides to replace the halide group with an R group.

In this particular instance, we intend to synthesize propylcyclohexane. The structure of the  lithium diorganocopper (Gilman) reagent required is shown in the image attached to this answer.
