Chapter 13, Problem 13.20P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It is to be explained how the given synthesis, where Propan-1-ol is the only starting material that contributes carbon atoms to the target, is carried out.

Concept introduction:

Synthesis may be designed by thinking in the reverse direction, from the product to the starting compound, in a method called retrosynthesis. Retrosynthesis involves starting with the product and determining a suitable precursor from which it can be synthesized, without considering specific reactions. The precursor must be a simpler molecule, which may or may not have a close structural relation to the target molecule. This process is repeated until an easily available (or easily prepared) precursor is reached. Each of these steps is called a transform. A synthesis is a specific sequence of chemical reactions that converts starting materials into the desired compound, called the target (or synthetic target).
