Question

What reagents are required to carry out the following part of the above synthesis?

The image depicts a multi-step organic synthesis pathway.

### Reagents (Top Section):

- **SoCl₂**
- **NaOH**
- **1. BH₃•THF  2. H₂O₂, OH⁻**
- **t-butoxide**
- **Jones**
- **PCC (Pyridinium Chlorochromate)**
- **1. Hg(OAc)₂, H₂O  2. NaBH₄**

### Reaction Scheme (Bottom Section):

- The starting material is a brominated alkane with a tert-butyl group.
- There are four reaction steps, each represented by an arrow leading to an unspecified product.
- The final product is a molecule with a tert-butyl group attached to a carbonyl chloride (acid chloride).

### Explanation:

1. **Initial Structure**: The molecule begins as a tert-butyl bromide.
  
2. **Transformation**: Through a series of reactions using the listed reagents, the bromide is converted into an acid chloride, signifying the addition of a carbonyl chloride group.

Each step likely involves specific functional group transformations to arrive at the final product, which is an essential aspect of studying organic synthesis pathways.
