Question
Chapter 12, Problem 31P
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.
A reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product is called a synthetic reaction.

When trichloroacetaldehyde is dissolved in water, almost all of it is converted to the hydrate. Chloral hydrate, the product of the reaction, is a sedative that can be lethal. A cocktail laced with it is known—in detective novels, at least—as a “Mickey Finn.” Explain why an aqueous solution of trichloroacetaldehyde is almost all hydrate.
In the mid-1930s a substance was isolated from a fungus that is a parasite of ryes and other grasses. This alkaloid, lysergic acid, has
been of great interest to chemists because of its strange, dramatic action on the human mind. Many derivatives of lysergic acid are
known, some with medicinal applications. Perhaps the best known derivative of lysergic acid is the potent hallucinogen lysergic acid
diethylamide (LSD):

Like other alkaloids, LSD is a weak base, with Kp = 7.6 × 107. What is the pH of a 0.94 M solution of LSD?

Carbonyl compounds can be protonated on the carbonyl oxygen. Protonation of the carbonyl oxygen gives a species whose positive charge is delocalized by resonance. Explain why acetic acid (ethanoic acid) is more readily protonated than acetone (propanone).
