Design a synthesis of the ketone below. All of the C atoms in the productmust be derived from one or both of the two starting materials shown, but you mayuse any other reagents to accomplish the necessary transformations. Your synthesiswill require more than two steps. Show each intermediate compound and allreagents you will need for each step.

Your summer job is to clean up an organic chemistrylaboratory after a flood has partially destroyed the labels on many of the bottles. Ineach problem below, choose a method for distinguishing the two possibilities by MS,IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, or optical activity, and precisely describe one difference thatyou can expect to see in the spectra of the two compounds that will allow you toidentify the sample unambiguously. You may use each method no more than twicein this problem!(a) Bottle 1 contains one of the following:H3COCH3H3COCH3Method for distinguishing: 1H NMR or 13C NMRDifference: Compound on left shows four resonances; compound on right showstwo.(b) Bottle 2 contains one of the following:OOH3CCH3Method for distinguishing: 1H NMR or 13C NMR or IRDifference:IR: Compound on right shows absorbance at about 1710 cm–1; compound on leftshows much higher energy absorbance.1H NMR: compound on left shows two singlets in 2:3 ratio; compound on rightshows three multiplets in 2:2:1 ratio.13C NMR (proton-coupled): compound on left shows two singlets, a triplet, and aquartet; compound on right shows one singlet and three triplets.5(c) Bottle 3 contains one of the following:ONHNOHMethod for distinguishing: IR or NMRDifference:IR: Compound on left shows absorbance around 3300 cm–1; one on right showsabout 3500 cm–1.NMR (1H or 13C): Compound on left shows two downfield absorbances; one on rightshows one upfield and one downfield.(d) Bottle 4 contains one of the following:CH3Method for distinguishing: 1H or 13C NMRDifference:1H NMR: Compound on left shows two resonances in alkene region; one on rightshows three. Upfield resonance for compound on left integrates to 3H; one on rightintegrates to 2H.13C NMR (proton-coupled): Compound on left shows upfield quartet; one on rightshows upfield triplet.65.

(4 pts. each, 20 pts. total) Undergraduate research assistant Bartholomew Hum-dinger wants to carry out each of the following reactions in the laboratory. Explainto him why each reaction WILL NOT WORK AS WRITTEN. (Bartholomew has ashort attention span, so please restrict your answers to one or two grammaticallycorrect sentences. Please note that, “Because you can’t,” and “Because it won’thappen,” are not acceptable answers.)(a)BrONaO3° alkyl halides don’t undergo SN2 reactions because of steric hindrance. Instead,elimination will occur.(b)OBrNaOEtOWhen a weak base is used in ketone alkylations, multiple alkylations occur becausethe product is deprotonated as often as the starting material.7(c)Ph HOLDA; then CH3CH2CH2IPh HOCH3Aldehydes can’t be deprotonated with LDA and then alkylated because they undergoaldol reactions faster than they are deprotonated.(d)OHSSAlcohols are not electrophilic under basic conditions, so no reaction will occur.(e)OPhOHOPhOcat.
