Chapter 19, Problem 19P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The synthesis of the given compound A based on the given retrosynthesis reaction has to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Retrosynthesis is used to identify the reactants of a synthesis reaction. It involves the breaking of the target molecules into starting materials.

The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction.

In nucleophilic substitution, an electron rich species attacks the species that is deficient in electrons. The electrophile and the leaving group together form a substrate and the nucleophile attacks over the substrate. This results in the removal of leaving group from the substrate.
