Chapter 13, Problem 13.37P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the given generic synthesis scheme is linear or convergent is to be determined. The overall percent yield is to be computed.

Concept introduction:

In a convergent synthesis, portions of a target molecule are synthesized separately and are assembled together at a later stage. The overall percent yield in a convergent synthesis like this is the product of the yields of the longest branch of the synthesis with the lowest yields.

In a linear synthesis, portions of a target molecule are synthesized in sequential steps. For a linear synthesis, the overall percent yield is equal to the product of the yields of the individual steps.

함 H Follow the curved arrows and draw the product of this reaction. . You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
Deuterium (D) is an isotope of H. Both D and H have one proton and one electron; H has no neutrons and D has one. Consequently, D and H have nearly identical behavior, but they can be distinguished from each other experimentally due to their different masses. Therefore, replacing an H with a D in a molecule-deuterium isotope labeling-can provide valuable information about a mechanism. With this in mind, how would you synthesize each of the following deuterium-labeled compounds from the analogous unlabeled compound, using D,0 as your only source of deuterium? Hint: You will have to use two separate proton transfer reactions to synthesize each one. (a) (b) (c) OD D.
