Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem LGP
The problem below is directed toward devising a hypothetical pathway for the synthesis of the acyclic central portion of Crixivan (Merck and Company’s HIV protease inhibitor). Note that your synthesis might not adequately control the stereochemistry during each step, but for this particular exercise chat is not expected.
Fill in missing compounds and reagents in the following outline of a hypothetical synthesis of the acyclic central portion of Crixivan. Note that more than one intermediate compound may be involved between some of the structures shown below.

The following sequence, beginning with a cyclic hemiacetal (compound A), was part of a recently reported enantiospecific synthesis of a powerful sex pheromone (currently used in pest management) of the mealybug Pseudococcus viburni:
Draw the structures of compound B and C. Provide a plausible mechanism to explain the transformation from compound C into compound D. Identify the reagents you would need to convert compound D into compound F (in just two steps). Also identify the structure of compound E.
Illustrate the resonance effect of the methoxy group -OCH3, on the structure of the benzene ring. Draw all the oissuvke resonance forms of methoxybenzene, including the hybrid Based on the structures, explain how the presence of the -OCH3 group affects: (i) the reactivity of the benzene ring towards electrophilic attack (ii) the orientation or point of attack of an incoming electrophilic reagent on the benzene ring.
Gamma(y)-amino butyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter (a chemical that is used to send signals from one neuron to another) of the
mammalian central nervous system. In order to understand how GABA works, conformationally restricted analogues, such as
compound 1, have been made. During a synthesis of compound 1, compound 2 was subjected to allylic bromination using NBS and a
radical initiator (AIBN) instead of light (Aust. J. Chem. 1981, 34, 2231-2236).
