Gamma(y)-amino butyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter (a chemical that is used to send signals from one neuron to another) of the
mammalian central nervous system. In order to understand how GABA works, conformationally restricted analogues, such as
compound 1, have been made. During a synthesis of compound 1, compound 2 was subjected to allylic bromination using NBS and a
radical initiator (AIBN) instead of light (Aust. J. Chem. 1981, 34, 2231-2236).

The oxidation stops at this stage to give the aldehyde. Both Swern and Dess–Martin conditions will also convert a secondary alcohol to a ketone. Now apply what has just been discussed.
