Problem 17a
LOOKING AHEAD CHAPTERS 8, 17 In Chapters 8 and 17 we learn two reaction for the synthesis of the alcohol shown. (a) Show a mechanism for each of the reactions. (b) If you were designing a synthetic route, which would be considered more sustainable? Consider all factors. [Assume the starting organic molecules are equally green.]
