Please propose a synthesis for each of the following compounds from any alkanes or cycloalkanes you need as your only source of carbon; you may use any inorganic reagents you wish, but you must start with alkanes or cycloalkanes. In other words, all reactants in your synthesis must be made from an alkane or cycloalkane if they contain carbon!! EtO

2. Using structural diagrams to explain the synthesis of butyl ethanoate from an alkane and an alcohol. Make sure you have the names of the substances and the reaction conditions of the reactions of the steps that consists your synthesis HC-C H- styrene HH ethane-1,2-diol OH НО. JOL -0-H benzene-1.4-dicarboxylic acid.

Compounds with more than one hydroxyl group can react with thionyl chloride differently from simple alcohols. In the reaction with thionyl chloride, the butane-1,2-diol gave a single organic product with 85% yield, according to the following balanced equation:   (Suggest a reasonable structure for this product and make a mechanism to justify your reasoning using curved arrows to describe the motion of electrons)
