Chapter 13, Problem 13.4YT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using the number convention for common sequential steps, the following synthetic steps are to be shown: (Z)-Hex-3-ene is treated with mercury (II) acetate in water, and on completion of that reaction, the product is treated with sodium borohydride to yield hexan-3-ol as the overall product.

Concept introduction:

Synthetic steps that are customarily carried out sequentially may be combined using numbers above and below the reaction arrow to distinguish the steps. In a synthetic step, each reaction that is denoted by a number is understood to go to completion before the next reagent is added. Using this convention for sequential steps, reaction conditions can be written after the reagent for each numbered step. The reaction conditions are typically separated from the reactant or reagent by either a comma or a slash.
