Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A retrosynthetic analysis and a synthetic reaction that could be used to prepare Meparfynol from four carbon atoms are to be written.
Concept introduction:
Retrosynthetic analysis is a method of solving problems related to the preparation of
In this, a target molecule is transferred into simple precursor structures without assuming the starting materials.
