Propose a synthesis for the following product from the starting material(s) indicated. Show all reagents and products of each step of your sequence. Show retrosynthetic analysis. OH OH Ph

Using your knowledge of carboxylic acid derivatives and a-carbonyl chemistry, choose reagents for the following transformation. Provide a mechanism and explain the importance of the order of addition. CN OH CN

Propose a sequence of reactions to prepare the specified target compound from the indicated starting materials.  All of the carbon atoms in the target must originate in the specified starting materials.  Keeping this restriction in mind, you may use any other organic or inorganic reagents necessary to complete the synthesis. It is only necessary to show the overall transformations involved in your proposed synthesis.

The key starting material is methylcyclohexane. Please draw a scheme that will take you from the starting material to the product outlining the reagents you would use for each step, as well as the key organic products formed from each step. Please do not draw mechanisms, thank you

Propose syntheses for the product shown on the left starting from the indicated compound (shown on the right). Your answer should include a retrosynthetic analysis and a proposed synthetic route with reagents.
