Chapter 8.8, Problem 8.19E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The retrosynthetic analysis should be applied to 4-ethyl-4-nonanol by disconnection of CO bond and whether this retrosynthetic strategy is efficient or not should be identified and explained.

Concept introduction:Retrosynthetic analysis involves transformation of target molecule into simple precursor that can be used as substrate for the synthesis of target molecule. The bonds broken generate molecules called synthons or synthetic equivalent. The latter term is designated to indicate their use as substrate in synthesis. For instance, the synthons generated in phenylacetic acid are given as follows:
