The following are intermediate products in the stepwise synthesis of compound 1 from benzene. Give the correct sequence of reactions with the appropriate reagents that will lead to the correct intermediate products and final product.
Which of the reaction conditions could afford the following transformation?
A common illicit synthesis of methamphetamine involves an interesting variation of the Birch reduction. A solution of ephedrine in alcohol is added to liquid ammonia, followed by several pieces of lithium metal. The Birch reduction usually reduces the aromatic ring, but in this case it eliminates the hydroxy group of ephedrine to give methamphetamine. Propose a mechanism, similar to that for the Birch reduction, to explain this unusual course of the reaction.
