Okay, so we have the following ketone, and we basically need to do retro synthetic synthetic analysis and think of the two ways that we could generate this ketone.
00:14
Right.
00:15
So we can break this bond or we can break this bond.
00:18
Actually, i'm going to do that in a different color.
00:21
Right.
00:21
Those are our two options, which is to say we could start here and react with methyl magnesium bromide.
00:40
Or we could start here and react with one, two, three, beetle magnesium bromide.
00:56
Right.
00:58
Either one would work.
01:02
So given that, what we then need to think about is, okay, we don't have starting materials that, you know, we don't have this acetone or acid albeide, right? so is there an alcohol that's similar to this? and the answer is yes.
01:24
If we start with ethanol, right, then we could use pcc to get the aldehyde.
01:31
For example, if we start here, do we have a butanol to work with, right? do we have one butanol available as a starting material? and we don't, right? this isn't one of our options...
