(a)
Interpretation : The condensed structural formula for the product of reaction between terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol in the 1:1 ratio needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction :
(b)
Interpretation : The condensed structural formula for the product of reaction between the product in part (a) and 1 mol of ethylene glycol needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction : Polymers are formed by polymerisation of certain monomer units. Based on type of chemical reaction, polymerisation can be two types; condensation polymerisation and addition polymerisation. Addition polymerisation occurs between unsaturated monomer units whereas condensation polymerisation occurs with elimination of water molecule as by-product between two functional groups. PETE is an example of condensation polymer.
(c)
Interpretation : The mass of PETE recycled in one year needs to be determined.

- 3. SYNTHESIS. Propose a sequence of synthetic steps (FGI) that convert the starting material (SM) into the Target molecule. For each FGI in your proposed synthesis, specify the reagents / conditions, and draw the product(s) of that FGI. DO NOT INCLUDE the FGI mxn in the answer you submit. If an FGI requires two reagent sets, specify the order in which the reagent sets are added, e.g., i) Hg(OAc)2 / H₂O; ii) NaBH4/MeOH. Indicate the stereochemistry (if any) of the products of each FGI.
