Question

You have been given the task of synthesizing 2 alcohols for yourR&D boss at Alcohol Synthesizers Anonymous (sorry!).Listed below are the only reagents to which you have access.There is one problem - due to budget cutbacks you onlyhave enough organic reagents for one synthesis which means you canonly use an organic reagent from thetable once (you can use any other reagent as many times as youwant).

Apropene BBr2, light Cethanal D 1-butene E HBr, noperoxides Fformaldehyde G 1-pentene H Mg metal I ethyleneoxide J HBr,peroxides K propanal L aqueousacid

Give the letter of the reagent you would use in sequence to effectthis synthesis starting with the organic reagent which is thesource of most of the carbons in the alcohol. You should needto put a reagent in each box.

a) The first alcohol you need to synthesize is 1-heptanol.
1 2 3 4 5
b) The second alcohol you need to synthesize is 1-pentanol.
6 7 8 9 10
Apropene BBr2, light Cethanal D 1-butene E HBr, noperoxides Fformaldehyde G 1-pentene H Mg metal I ethyleneoxide J HBr,peroxides K propanal L aqueousacid Apropene BBr2, light Cethanal D 1-butene E HBr, noperoxides Fformaldehyde G 1-pentene H Mg metal I ethyleneoxide J HBr,peroxides K propanal L aqueousacid
