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:
The best approach to retrosynthetic analysis is to look for easily available reagents such as Grignard reagents.

- I have a bottle of butanal that has been improperly used by lab workers. They allowed a traceamount NaOH (aq) to contaminate the bottle. What is now in my bottle of “butanal? What is the molecular name and functional group name? Draw the structure.arrow_forwardProvide the missing information. *see imagearrow_forwardFirst image: Why can't the molecule C be formed in those conditions Second image: Synthesis for lactone C its not an examarrow_forward
- First image: I have to show the mecanism for the reaction on the left, where the alcohol A is added fast in one portion Second image: I have to show the mecanism of the reaction at the bottom. Also I have to show by mecanism why the reaction wouldn't work if the alcohol was primaryarrow_forwardFirst image: I have to explain why the molecule C is never formed in those conditions. Second image: I have to propose a synthesis for the lactone Aarrow_forwardFirst image: I have to explain why the molecule C is never formed in these conditions Second image: I have to propose a synthesis for the lactone Aarrow_forward
