Question

3. Using ethylene as your only source of carbon (i.e., you'll need to use it more than once!), propose a multistep synthesis that would allow you access butanal in high yield. (6 points) ethylene $CH_3CH_2CH_2CHO$ butanal

Step 1

We need to synthesize it using only ethylene ($CH_2=CH_2$) as the carbon source. Butanal has four carbons, so we'll need to use ethylene at least twice. Show more…
