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.

What would be the best choices for the missing reagents 1 and 3 in this synthesis? 1 1. PPh3 2. n-BuLi 2 • Draw the missing reagents in the drawing area below. You can draw them in any arrangement you like. • Do not draw the missing reagent 2. If you draw 1 correctly, we'll know what it is. • Note: if one of your reagents needs to contain a halogen, use bromine. Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
