The widely used anticoagulant warfarin (see "Chemical Connections: From Moldy Clover to a Blood Thinner" in Chapter 18) is synthesized from 4-hydroxycoumarin, benzaldehyde, and acetone as shown in this retrosynthesis. Show how warfarin is synthesized from these reagents. OH OH Acetone + Warfarin 4Нydroxy- (a synthetic anticoagulant; racemic) coumarin Benzaldehyde

2. Propose a synthesis of the following molecule using an aldol reaction. OH 3. Imines can undergo reduction reactions with sodium borohydride to produce amines by a similar mechanism to how aldehydes and ketones react to produce alcohols. With thatin mind, propose a mechanism for the following reaction and give the structure of theamine product. N 1. NABH4 2. H30* imine
The following compound may be synthesized through alkylation of an appropriate enamine with an alkyl bromide, followed by hydrolysis of the resulting immonium ion. Using this strategy, provide the necessary starting materials for the synthesis. Draw the necessary enamine below.
A common illicit synthesis of methamphetamine involves an interesting variation of the Birch reduction. A solution of ephedrine in alcohol is added to liquid ammonia, followed by several pieces of lithium metal. The Birch reduction usually reduces the aromatic ring, but in this case it eliminates the hydroxy group of ephedrine to give methamphetamine. Propose a mechanism, similar to that for the Birch reduction, to explain this unusual course of the reaction.
The (R)-isomer of a-terpineol is a component of perfumes and flavorings and has a lilac-like floral odor. The (S)-isomer has a pine-like odor. Propose two methods of producing a-terpineol using Grignard reactions. [Ignore stereochemistry in your synthesises.]
