Chapter 10, Problem 2LGP

(a) Propose a synthesis of 2-methoxypropene starting with propane and methane as the sole source for carbon atoms. You may use any other reagents necessary. Devise a rettrosynthetic analysis first.

(b) 2-Methoxypropene will form a polymer when treated with a radical initiator. Write the structure of this polymer and a mechanism for the polymerization reaction assuming a radical mechanism initiated by a diacyl peroxide.
