Interpretation:
Each of the given compounds from the given starting material and any necessary organic or inorganic reagents are to be prepared by using retrosynthetic analysis with more than one synthetic step.
Concept Introduction:
The alkane, on chlorination, forms the corresponding alkyl chloride.
Alkyl halide, in presence of a strong base, undergoes
Alkene, on bromination, undergoes trans addition of bromine across the double bond and forms the corresponding vicinal dihalide.
The reaction of alkene with hydrogen halide forms the corresponding alkyl halide.
The primary alkyl halide, on reaction with sodium alkoxide, undergoes substitution and forms the corresponding ether.
The alkynes, on hydrogenation with catalyst Lindlar palladium, form a cis alkene.
The conjugate base of alkyne acts as a good nucleophile, on reaction with primary alkyl halide undergoes a substitution reaction.
The alkyne, on hydrogenation by a Group 1 metal (lithium, sodium, or potassium) in liquid ammonia, undergoes trans addition of
The alkene, on reaction with hydrogen bromide in presence of peroxide, undergoes an addition reaction in a way that the hydrogen bonds to a more substituted carbon of double bond and bromine bonds to a less substituted carbon of double bond. This is called anti-Markovnikov rule.

type of reaction.
g) The given starting material is shown below.
The retrosynthetic analysis for the preparation of the given compound from the given starting material is shown below:
The double inside the cyclohexane ring is intact in the reactant and product. The double bond in the side chain can be prepared by the partial reduction of a triple bond. The triple bond can be produced by the reaction of the given terminal alkyne with sodium amide followed by methyl bromide.
The actual synthetic route for the above retrosynthetic analysis is as follows:
The terminal triple bond has an acidic proton. Reaction of this terminal alkyne with sodium amide will produce the corresponding anion. Reaction of this anion with methyl bromide will produce an internal alkyne. This can be reduced partially to a cis double bond upon reaction with Lindlar catalyst.
