(8). (20 pts) Starting with 1-methyl-3-vinylbenzene, show how you can synthesize: (1) 2- hydroxy-3-(m-tolyl)propanoic acid and (2) 1-amino-3-(m-tolylpropan-2-ol. Hint: one of the intermediate products is a cyanohydrin 1-methyl-3-vinylbenzene OH OH 2-hydroxy-3-(m-tolyl)propanoic acid OH CH₂ NH₂ 1-amino-3-(m-tolyl)propan-2-ol or
