## Organic Chemistry Synthesis Problems

### Problem 14
Starting Material: ![Starting Material](https://www.chemicalland21.com/specialtychem/finechem/MEMO%20LAH%20structure.gif)

Reactants Used:
1. \( \text{LiAlH}_4 \) (Lithium Aluminium Hydride)
2. \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \) (Water)

Reaction Scheme:
- The starting material, which is a carboxylic acid, reacts with \( \text{LiAlH}_4 \) followed by water to produce a product.

(The specific product is not indicated in the problem statement and should be deduced based on the reaction conditions)

---

### Problem 15
Starting Materials:
- An organomagnesium bromide compound (Grignard reagent)
- Ethylene oxide (an epoxide)

Reaction Scheme:
- The Grignard reagent reacts with the epoxide to open the epoxide ring and form a new carbon-carbon bond.

(The specific product is not indicated in the problem statement and should be deduced based on the reaction conditions)

---

### Problem 16
This problem requires the synthesis of a product compound from the given starting material in multiple steps.

Starting Material and Product:
- Starting Material: A bicyclic ketone
- Product: A benzyl alcohol derivative

Reaction Scheme:
1. (The sequence of reactions needs to be derived to convert the bicyclic ketone to the target benzyl alcohol derivative)
   
(The specific reactions and intermediates are not provided; students must propose a synthetic route)

---

### Problem 17
This problem requires the design of a multi-step synthesis for converting the starting materials to the target compound.

Starting Materials:
- A bromo-benzene compound
- Ethylene oxide
- Cyclopentanone

Product:
- A benzyl cyclopentane derivative

Reaction Scheme:
1. (The sequence of reactions needs to be derived to transform the given starting materials into the target compound)
   
(The specific reactions and intermediates are not provided; students must propose a synthetic route)

---

**Instructions for Students:**
Please devise syntheses of the product compounds below from their respective starting material(s) on the left. Each of the syntheses will require multiple steps. If you can't think of a reagent for a particular reaction, just write the product and continue from that compound.
