ik314 Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) I have to synthesize a made-up molecule from a simple starting compound (preferably 3 carbons or less). My professor will know if I copy-paste a synthesis from online, so that definitely wouldn't fly. In order for me to get the maximum number of points, the synthesis must meet the following criteria: 1) There must be 4-8 steps (protonations and deprotonations not counting) 2) I must use reagents that we learned in both Organic 1 and 2. We can’t use anything we haven’t learned yet. NO DIELS-ALDER ALLOWED FOR CYCLIZATION, THE ONLY WAY WE HAVE LEARNED IS INTRAMOLECULAR SN2.) Here’s everything I have learned so far this semester: 3) chemoselectivity 4) regioselectivity 5) a cyclization (ring formation) 6) stereoselectivity 7) annotations explaining why a certain intermediate/product was formed (wherever relevant) The project is due tomorrow at 5pm (Eastern time). Here is an example (https://i.imgur.com/CdS6BCW.jpg) of a synthesis that would get the max # of points. And here is mine (https://i.imgur.com/DOch3eT.png) so far. What I need help with is making sure my synthesis contains the aforementioned 7 things, and that every step is accurate. The help would be much appreciated. Edited April 9, 2018 by ik314 images
