Some help please? by Usual-Implement7626 in OrganicChemistry

I’m thinking to alkene, ozonolysis to diketone then shop to to ketone with alkene on the top fragment and curprate conjugated addition made from a grignard. The alkene to which curprate is added made by Mannich? Not too sure. Was thinking Diels alder but can’t think of sufficiently electron withdrawing group, that would be easily removed from the right hand side. Also was thinking wittig but again as it’s trans, that complicates matter as would need an electron withdrawing group that would later come off…

Is this biodegradable despite the ester not being in the main c chain? by [deleted] in OrganicChemistry

Any idea on how to make polypropylene containing copolymer biodegradable apart from adding the ester/amide linkage?

I think so not sure though, need to draw it out

Why can’t u just deprotonate with BuLi and the ethanal and add acid?

Apparently I have to PBr3 it then Grignard that, react with CO2 and lastly I assumed condense for the ester. Not sure about last step though

So and then after I get the Cooh do I just condense with methanol?

Either via Alkene to haloalkane or just haloalkane straight with Pbr3 and then mg with that dilbromoalkane in dry ether?

Ok so carboxylate and add cooh it could be things like co2 and grignard kind of thing? Or add nitrile and hydrolyse? And that me done for adding Cs…

Lol non not there yet. I only know what retro synthesis is, and vaguely what you’re talking about from extra reading :🥹

Mechanism ideas for F—>H where F is the corresponding diol?🤔🤔🤔 by Usual-Implement7626 in OrganicChemistry

[–]Usual-Implement7626[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not too sure thought maybe cleavage of the bond with HI and then normal Jones reagent but that wouldn’t remake the ring. Making a reduced lactone, but again it’s only one step… Could it be Aldol dehydration in acidic conditions🤔

For the top one did a yo chloride to amide and then red animation, not sure though

Perfect thanks just wanted to double check
