Compound (D), an isomer of (A) in Problem 4, reacts with BH_(3). THF and then H_(2)O_(2)//O^(-)H to givechiral (E). Oxidation of (E) with KMnO_(4) or acid dichromate affords a chiral carboxylic acid, (F). Ozonolysis of (D) after reduction with Zn gives the same compound (G) obtained by oxidation of 2-methyl pentan-3-ol with KMnO_(4). Identify (D), (E), (F) and (G). |
Answer» SOLUTION :PROCEED REVERSE form the OXIDATION of 2-methylpentan-3-ol.  The POSSIBLE structure of (D) is: |
