Compound 2 was made as a potential anti-HIV agent, based on its structural similarity to other reported anti-HIV compounds (Synthesis 2014, 46, 879-886). One of the early steps in the synthesis involved the creation of an ether group (highlighted) in compound 1. Identify reagents that you could use to prepare compound 1 via a Williamson ether synthesis. NH₂ PMBO PMBO m Many steps HO HO 2
