Question

Specify both the alcohol starting material and the reagents you would use in each step in a synthesis of the compound shown

Specify both the alcohol starting material and the reagents you would use in each step in a synthesis of the compound shown. If the synthesis requires only two steps enter "none" for step 3 CH3 CH2 Alcohol Starting Materials 1. methanol 2. ethanol 3. 1-propanol 4. 2-propanol 5. cyclohexanol Reagents availablie a. LiAlH4 f. PBr3 k. CH3 CH2CH2; then H3O b. HS0. CrOs, H,S0, H2OCHMgBr (phenylmagnesium bromide); then Hso m. CH3)2CHMgBr: then HO d. HBr i. CHsMgBr then H30+ n. Dess-Martin periodinane (DMP) then H,o.Dess-Martin

Explanation / Answer

Alcohol starting material is: 4) 2-propanol

step:1: n) Dess-Martin periodinane (DMP)

step:2: l) C6H5MgBr (pehnyl Magnesium bromide) then H3O+

step:3: b) H2SO4

Explanation: oxidation of 2-propanol produces ketone as product. reaction of ketone with phenyl magnesium bromide produces tertiary alcohol as product. dehydration of alcohol with H2SO4 produces the required alkene as product.
