Retro synthesis: It is a technique of planning an
Base catalysed ring opening of
The nucleophile will attack at the less substituted position under basic conditions and then the alkoxide ion gets proton from alcohol which form the product.
Acid chlorides are most often prepared by treating a

- Following is a synthesis for toremifene, a nonsteroidal estrogen antagonist whose structure is closely related to that of tamoxifen. (a) This synthesis makes use of two blocking groups, the benzyl (Bn) group and the tetrahydropyranyl (THP) group. Draw a structural formula of each group and describe the experimental conditions under which it is attached and removed. (b) Discuss the chemical logic behind the use of each blocking group in this synthesis. (c) Propose a mechanism for the conversion of D to E. (d) Propose a mechanism for the conversion of F to toremifene. (e) Is toremifene chiral? If so, which of the possible stereoisomers are formed in this synthesis?arrow_forwardFollowing is a retrosynthetic analysis for an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of vitamin A. (a) Addition of one mole of HCl to isoprene gives 4-chloro-2-methyl-2-butene as the major product. Propose a mechanism for this addition and account for its regioselectivity. (b) Propose a synthesis of the vitamin A precursor from this allylic chloride and ethyl acetoacetate.arrow_forward
