(a)
Interpretation:
Using phenol and any other reagents as starting materials, a synthesis of each of the following compounds is to be outlined.
(a) 1-ethoxy-2-propyl benzene
Concept introduction:
Sigmatropic reaction can be described as the migration of allylic sigma bond at one end of the π-electron system to the other end of the π-electron system as an uncatalyzed intramolecular reaction. The formation of sigma bond at 3, 3-position of a 1, 5-diene is called as cope rearrangement. Notably, [3, 3] sigmatropic reaction of allyl vinyl ether is termed as Claisen rearrangement.
