Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relationship between the aging and oxidation is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

A molecule that contains unpaired electron(s) is called a free radical and radicals are highly reactive and toxic.

Free radicals are generated as a by-product from oxygen catabolism during the oxidative stress.

A free radical can be generated by the cleavage of a weak bond between electrons.

Can the target compound be efficiently synthesized in good yield from the substituted benzene of the starting material?  If yes, draw the synthesis. Include all steps and all reactants.
This is a synthesis question.  Why is this method wrong or worse than the "correct" method?  You could do it thiss way, couldn't you?
Try: Draw the best Lewis structure showing all non-bonding electrons and all formal charges if any: (CH3)3CCNO NCO- HN3 [CH3OH2]*
