Bhs tổ syhthesize the target compound below from the indicated starting materials.You may use any other organic and/or inorganic reagents necessary to complete your synthesis, but all carbon atoms in the target must be derived from the starting materials specified. It is only necessary to give overall transformations in answering this question. Please DO NOT provide curved arrow mechanisms for the reactions that you use. H. CH3 Prepare H. and from Br and CH3NH2 TARGET as the only sources of C atoms in the target
Reactions of Ethers
Ethers (R-O-R’) are compounds formed by replacing hydrogen atoms of an alcohol (R-OH compound) or a phenol (C6H5OH) by an aryl/ acyl group (functional group after removing single hydrogen from an aromatic ring). In this section, reaction, preparation and behavior of ethers are discussed in the context of organic chemistry.
Epoxides
Epoxides are a special class of cyclic ethers which are an important functional group in organic chemistry and generate reactive centers due to their unusual high reactivity. Due to their high reactivity, epoxides are considered to be toxic and mutagenic.
Williamson Ether Synthesis
An organic reaction in which an organohalide and a deprotonated alcohol forms ether is known as Williamson ether synthesis. Alexander Williamson developed the Williamson ether synthesis in 1850. The formation of ether in this synthesis is an SN2 reaction.
![**Title: Proposing a Reaction Sequence for Organic Synthesis**
**Objective:**
The task is to propose a sequence of reactions to synthesize the target compound from the given starting materials.
**Instructions:**
- You may use any other organic and/or inorganic reagents necessary to complete your synthesis.
- Ensure all carbon atoms in the target are derived from the specified starting materials.
- Focus on the overall transformations; providing curved arrow mechanisms for the reactions is not required.
**Target Compound:**
- **Structure:** A six-membered aromatic ring with an N-methyl group (CH₃) attached to a nitrogen atom connected to the ring.
**Starting Materials:**
1. **Benzamide Structure:** An aromatic ring with a carbonyl group and an NH group (benzamide).
2. **Halogenated Alkane:** A linear carbon chain with a bromine atom (Br).
3. **Methylamine (CH₃NH₂).**
**Requirement:**
- Use the given starting materials as the only sources of carbon atoms in the target compound.
**Note:**
As the exercise emphasizes conceptualizing the synthesis path, ample understanding of organic reactions such as amide formation, functional group transformations, and aromatic substitutions will be beneficial in solving this problem.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4783cb6f-c9a6-486a-a4d0-5a07a49ff57e%2F62dffc8a-3074-4f97-8dfa-a732328c37e1%2Falnble_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
