Answers to the synthesis problems are given below. These answers have been selected as they are short but there are probably other reasonable / alternative solutions ..... Of course they are based on the reactions covered in the Fall semester !
Common errrors:
Not reading the question and hence not showing how to make any materials that contribute C to the product from the allowed starting materials.... the one specified in each part plus any hydrocarbon with three carbons or less.Trying to react alkanes with Nu like ammonia without first radically halogenating to introduce a leaving group. Confusing reagents. Ignoring stereochemistry.
