Interpretation:
It is to be proposed how to carry out the given synthesis, in which an amide isconverted into an acid anhydride.
Concept introduction:
An acyl substitution that converts an acid derivative from a higher rung onthe stability ladder to one on a lower rung of the ladder is energeticallyfavorable. Therefore, the conversion of the more stable acid derivative to a less stable acid derivative is cannot proceeds in a single step. Thus for the conversion of an amide to an acid anhydride first amide must be converted to acid chloride. Amide on base hydrolysis produces corresponding
