Okay, so very similar question to 16 .26.
00:07
We can't make this molecule based on what we've learned in this chapter.
00:10
And i've thought a lot about this, and you can't, you actually can't make it.
00:15
I thought i'd be able to find a way.
00:17
But mcmurray is a smart person when he wrote this question, right? so let's just give this question a shot and see if we can make it, and then eventually we'll give up because the question tells us to give up.
00:29
So, right, so you have a methyl group and a nitro group that are meta to each other.
00:34
So if you wanted to add that methyl group first by an alkalation reaction, you could do that.
00:42
Again, you'd probably get some polysubstuted so you can make tonyuine.
00:48
And then that will, you can't arrive at that nitro group.
00:52
You can't do this because it's going to direct the nitro group either to the orthoposition here or the power position here.
01:00
So that's off the table.
01:02
Let's say that you wanted to put an aso group there instead.
01:08
So now if you want to add this formal chloride, so we can make, we'll put an aldehyde at the end...
