(a) Tsomane and Nyiko were given a task of synthesising methylenecyclohexane
2. After a brief discussion with each other, Tsomane proposed Method A to
synthesise 2 from cyclohexanone 1 while Nyiko proposed Method B that
started from hydroxymethylcyclohexane 3. Each student believed that their
proposed method is better than the other. (Scheme below)
