Provide a retrosynthesis and forward synthesis (with complete reaction conditions) of the following compound from alkyl halides containing 6 carbons or less. The starting materials may be any type of alkyl halide (primary, secondary, or tertiary). You may use any other reagents you find necessary. I suggest drawing out intermediates to be sure you aren’t forgetting steps. Mechanisms are not necessary though very helpful. A retrosynthetic analysis is required for your work to be considered for grading. However, only your synthetic steps will be graded for correctness.

Explanation:

The equation of state (combined gas law) for an ideal gas states that

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume of the gas

n is the number of moles of the gas

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas

The equation can be rewritten as

For an ideal gas that undergoes a transformation, if the amount of gas remains the same, the term on the right of the equation remains constant. This means that the ratio

for the gas remains constant, and therefore we can rewrite the equation as

where 1 indicates the initial conditions of the gas while 2 indicates the conditions of the gas after the transformation.
