The synthesis of 2-methylpentane-1, 3- diol form compounds containing three 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.
