Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The isoprene skeleton of vitamin A is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Isoprene unit contains five carbon atoms. The carbon atoms of isoprene unit are connected by sigma bond or pi bond. Terpenes and terpenoids contain unequal number of isoprene units. Vitamins are the organic compounds that are essential in small amounts for the proper functioning of the human body.

5. Propose a Synthesis for the molecule below. You may use any starting materials containing 6 carbons or less (reagents that aren't incorporated into the final molecule such as PhзP do not count towards this total, and the starting material can have whatever non-carbon functional groups you want), and any of the reactions you have learned so far in organic chemistry I, II, and III. Your final answer should show each step separately, with intermediates and conditions clearly drawn. H3C CH3
