Chapter 19, Problem 19.8P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The synthesis of 2-methylpentane-1, 3-diol form compounds containing five or fewer carbon is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

A synthesis is a specific sequence of chemical reactions that converts starting materials into the desired compound, called the target (or synthetic target). Synthesis may be designed by thinking in the reverse direction, from the product to the starting compound, in a method called retrosynthesis. Retrosynthesis involves starting with the product and determining a suitable precursor from which it can be synthesized, without considering specific reactions. The carbon-carbon bond forming is a very important reaction in organic synthesis because it allows us to alter the carbon framework of a particular molecule. If two functional groups are present in the product with very specific relative position, it can be critical to synthesis; therefore, we have to check the relative position of the hetero atoms within those functional groups that can give us a clue as to which carbon-carbon bond is formed during the synthesis reaction.

Please answer the question and provide a detailed drawing of the structure. If there will not be a new C – C bond, then the box under the drawing area will be checked.  Will the following reaction make a molecule with a new C – C bond as its major product:  Draw the major organic product or products, if the reaction will work. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry.
Please do not use AI.  AI cannot "see" the molecules properly, and it therefore gives the wrong answer while giving incorrect descriptions of the visual images we're looking at.  All of these compounds would be produced (I think).  In my book, I don't see any rules about yield in this case, like explaining that one product would be present in less yield for this reason or that reason.  Please explain why some of these produce less yield than others.
