Question

find a total synthesis of a molecule (pharmaceutical most likely). You must identify 20 different reactions used in the synthesis and list them and tell me what reactions they are. You must show the total synthesis of the molecule, highlight the reactions you wish to identify and label them (numbering them is the easiest way), then separately list each of the 20 reactions by label (e.g. number) and tell me what reaction each is. (for example; #1 = aldol condensation; #2 = Suzuki Miyaura coupling; #3 = hydrogenation of alkene; etc.). All reactions you have studied in organic I and II are valid.
