Problem 2. Synthetic Transformations Isobutyl alcohol (2-methyl-1-propanol), (CH3)2CHCH2OH, can be transformed to each of the compounds (1 through 12) listed in the left-hand column. In each case the number of steps needed to accomplish the change is noted, and an answer box is provided for your reagent selections. Fourteen reagents (designated A through N) are listed in the right-hand column. Enter letters designating the reagent or reagents you believe will achieve the desired transformation in the box to the right of the product formula. In the case of a multi-step sequence enter the reagents in the order they are to be used. In some cases you may wish to use a previously prepared compound as a reactant. If so, enter the number (1 to 12) corresponding to the desired compound. Desired Product Reagent List 1. (CH3)2CHCH2B (one step). 2. (CH3)2C=CH2 (one step). A. Hg(OAc)2 in H2O 3.
