Chapter 21, Problem 111IP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

• A mechanism for the given reaction has to be drawn.
• The observed stereochemistry has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

 For any given transformation, the following mandatory observations have to be made clear to predict the synthetic scheme:

• Observe whether there is any change in the carbon skeleton.
• Observe whether there is any change in the location of the functional group.
• Predict the synthetic scheme in such a way that these two observations have to be achieved within the minimum chemo selective steps.

The given reaction is:
