Question 1 (15 points) Propose a Synthesis of compound A from the starting material shown. As you plan your synthesis answer the following questions: 1) Is there a change in the carbon skeleton (number of carbons from SM to product). 2) Is there a change in the location and/or identity of the functional group? Your answer will likely require several steps, so show your work for full credit. JOH starting material Question 2 (15 points) Show how you can make 2,7-dimethyloctan-4-one using 1-butanol as the source of ALL carbons in the product. You will have to transform 3-methyl-butan-1-ol in multiple ways to succeed in this problem. OH compound A 3-methylbutan-1-ol 2,7-dimethyloctan-4-one
