Chapter 14, Problem 37E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The overall cell reaction for the given half-cell is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Oxidation is the addition of an electronegative element or the removal of an electropositive element in a chemical reaction.

Reduction is the addition of an electropositive element or the removal of an electronegative element in a chemical reaction.

The chemical reaction in which both oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously is called a redox reaction.

Electrolysis is the process in which a redox reaction takes place at the electrodes. The electrode that is charged positively is called the anode. The electrode that is charged negatively is called the cathode. During electrolysis, the reduction takes place at the cathode and oxidation takes place at the anode.

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]*
