Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To represent a logical retrosynthesis of the given diol target molecule.

Concept introduction:

  1,2 diols can be formed from diketones by reducing the two carbonyl groups using a variety of reducing agents such as NaBH4 , LiAlH4 , H2/Pd , etc., or by dihydroxylation of alkenes.

Thus, a vicinal diol can be prepared from an alkene starting material, and a trans alkene can be prepared from an alkyne.
