Propose a synthesis of Compound R from the starting materials provided. NOTE: Your only sources of carbon in the final product are the starting materials on the left. It is acceptable to have other carbon sources in reagents and protecting groups. You may assume that you have the starting materials in separate bottles and can react them separately.

Each of the following is a set of directions for carrying out a reaction or sequence of reactions. Rewrite each set ofdirections in the form of a synthesis.(a) To 2-ethylcyclohexanone, add lithium diisopropylamide, and when that reaction is complete, add bromoethane toyield 2,6-diethylcyclohexanone.(b) Add molecular bromine to 2,2-dimethylcyclohexanone in the presence of acetic acid to yield 6-bromo-2,2-dimethylcyclohexanone. To the resulting mixture, add sodium cyanide to yield 6-cyano-2,2-dimethyl-cyclohexanone.(c) Treat pent-4-ynoic acid with diazomethane to produce methyl pent-4-ynoate. Next, add sodium hydride, followed by(bromomethyl)benzene, to yield methyl 6-phenylhex-4-ynoate.

A student wanted to know whether the greater proximity of the nucleophile to the C-2 carbon in the transition state is what causes the 1,2-addition product to be formed faster when 1,3-butadiene reacts with HCl. Therefore, she decided to investigate the reaction of 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene with HCl. Her friend told her that she should use 1-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene instead. Should she follow her friend’s advice?
