It is often helpful to have more than one way to make a given molecule, as you may not know ahead of time which strategy will be more successful.... 4-Hexyne-2-ol can be made from propene in two different ways – one by way of a bromohydrin, using a protecting group strategy, and another by using an epoxide (which does not need a protecting group strategy). (a) First, give the synthesis which goes through the bromohydrin and uses a protecting group. OH (b) Now, modify the synthesis (you may start with propene, or any other molecule you already made in part (a)) to accomplish the synthesis of 4-hexyne-2-ol using an epoxide.
