(a)
Interpretation:
Synthesis of the following compound using ethene and buta-1, 3-diene as the only source of carbon is to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
The product has 10 carbon atoms while the starting material has four and two carbon atoms. This means that the reaction that alters the carbon skeleton must occur. The retrosynthetic approach suggests the reaction to be two back-to-back Diels-Alder reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
Synthesis of the following compound using ethene and buta-1, 3-diene as the only source of carbon is to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
The product has 6 carbon atoms while the starting material has four and two carbon atoms. Hence there must be one reaction that alters the carbon skeleton. Target product is a chain with OH
(c)
Interpretation:
Synthesis of the following compound using ethene and buta-1, 3-diene as the only source of carbon is to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
The product has 6 carbon atoms while the starting material has four and two carbon atoms. This suggests that one reaction to alter carbon skeleton must occur. Retrosynthesis suggests the formation of β- hydroxy
(d)
Interpretation:
Synthesis of the following compound using ethene and buta-1, 3-diene as the only source of carbon is to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
The product has 10 carbon atoms while the starting material has four and two carbon atoms. This suggests that two reactions that alter carbon skeleton must occur. The retrosynthesis of the target suggests it to be a product of Diels-Alder reaction. The two precursors of Diels alder reaction must be butadiene and an aldehyde.

- Show the mechanism steps to obtain the lowerenergy intermediate: *see imagearrow_forwardSoap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups. Draw the above carboxylic acidcarbon chain but as the two variants of detergents. *see imagearrow_forwardWhat are the reactions or reagents used? *see imagearrow_forward
