Question

Propose a synthesis of the following molecule from the given starting material.  You may use any reactions we have learned in this course so far, and any reagents containing the carbon atoms you need.

The image shows a chemical reaction diagram featuring two organic compounds. 

**Left Structure:**
- A benzoic acid derivative with a phenyl group attached to a carbonyl group (C=O).
- The carbonyl is bonded to an –OH group and an amide, specifically a –N(CH3) group.

**Right Structure:**
- A similar benzoic acid derivative where the –OH group is replaced by a double-bonded oxygen, converting it to an aldehyde functionality.
- The –N(CH3) group remains attached to the original position.

**Reaction Summary:**
The diagram illustrates an oxidation reaction, where the hydroxyl group (–OH) in the starting material is oxidized to form an aldehyde group (C=O). The arrows indicate the directional flow from the reactant to the product.

This transformation is typical in organic synthesis, often facilitated by specific reagents or catalysts that enable the oxidation step. The diagram does not specify the reagents used in this transformation.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Lithium aluminium hydride will reduce amide into primary amine and after this use PCC to oxidise alcohol into aldehyde.

Lithium aluminium hydride is a strong reducing agent which release hydrogen and reduce functional group
