Problem 1 (a) Perform a retrosynthetic analysis of the target molecule shown below, explaining your choice of bond disconnections. Show formal charges on the synthons, and suggest reagents/intermediates which correspond to the synthons. Propose a synthesis of the target molecule (in racemic form) from starting materials containing no more than 7 carbon atoms. (You do not need to draw the reaction mechanisms, simply indicate what type of reaction is involved in each step.) Discuss stereoselectivity and regioselectivity. 9 سه
