Chapter 20, Problem 20.78P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The synthesis of (R)salmeterol from the starting materials is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The substitution reaction involves the replacement of one functional group by other functional group. In nucleophilic substitution, an electron rich species attack the species that is deficient in electrons. The electrophile and the leaving group together form a substrate. The nucleophile attacks over the substrate and there occurs the removal of leaving group from the substrate.
