Propose an efficient synthesis for two of the following target molecules, starting with any of the following starting materials for the source of carbon atoms: (1) benzene, (i) any alcohol containing four or fewer carbon atoms, (1) carbon dioxide, (iv) cyanide ion. This means that any carbon atom that ends up in the target molecule must come from one of these starting materials! Br (a) H2N (b) HO

A solution of acetone [(CH3)2C=O] in ethanol (CH3CH2OH) in the presence of a trace of acid was allowed to stand for several days, and a new compound of molecular formula C7H16O2 was formed. The IR spectrum showed only one major peak in the functional group region around 3000 cm−1, and the 1H NMR spectrum is given here. What is the structure of the product?
When certain aromatic compounds are treated with formaldehyde (CH2O), and HCl, the CH2Cl group is introduced onto the ring. This reaction is known as chloromethylation.
