- 2-Propylpentanoic acid (valproic acid) is an effective drug for treatment of several types of epilepsy, particularly absence seizures, which are generalized epileptic seizures characterized by brief and abrupt loss of consciousness. Propose a synthesis of valproic acid starting with diethyl malonate.arrow_forwardBeginning with acetylene and any alkyl halide needed, how would you syn- thesize the following compounds? (a) Decane (b) 2,2-Dimethylhexane (c) Hexanal (d) 2-Heptanonearrow_forwardA synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D. I contains an ester group, and J contains a ketone group. Don't use chat gpt.arrow_forward
