Use retrosynthetic analysis to plan a synthesis of the following target molecules. The only carbon-containing compounds available for the syntheses are cyclohexanol, ethanol, and carbon dioxide.
The retrosynthetic analysis to plan a synthesis of the given molecules are to be drawn with only carbon-containing compounds available for the syntheses are cyclohexanol, ethanol, and carbon dioxide..
The retrosynthesis is a planning of organic synthesis, working backwards from target molecule to simpler precursor regardless of any interaction with reagents. Thus, the basis of retrosynthetic analysis is the transform, which means the reverse of a synthetic reaction. The precursors are the compounds which are either readily available or easy to produce. The transform is indicated by the open arrow called retrosynthetic arrow. The arrow is drawn from target molecule to the precursor and no reagents or reaction conditions are mentioned.
According to the given retrosynthetic analysis, the starting reactants are epoxide (ethylene oxide) and methylamine.
Retrosynthetic analysis for the given molecule is,
