Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The synthesis of each of the given compounds is to be shown and a retrosynthesis analysis for each reaction to be written.
Concept introduction:
Retrosynthesis is a technique in which the functional groups present in the product are used to predict the possible reactants by tracing the reaction in the backward direction.
Alcohols react with phosphorus bromide to form alkyl bromides.
The Grignard reagent or RMgX is a reagent, which can be prepared from
