Question

Devise a synthesis of attached compound from CH₃CH₂OH as the only organic starting material; that is, every carbon in the product must come from a molecule of ethanol. You may use any other needed in organic reagents.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Hex-3-yne reacts with H₂ lindlar's catalyst to form (z)-hex-3-ene (cis alkene).

(Z)-hex-3-ene undergoes dihydroxylation in presence of OsO₄ to form our target product (1,2 diol).

The two OH groups adds to the double bond through syn addition. Cis alkenes react with OsO₄to form meso compound.
