Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The synthesis of given
Concept introduction:
The synthesis of compound relies upon the type of reactants and reagents that are used during the reactions.
The energy of the product should be low because low energy of a compound increases the stability of a compound. The stability of a compound is the major factor that is responsible for the formation of a compound. The reagents perform numerous functions in reactions like proton abstraction, oxidation, reduction, catalysis, and dehydrogenation.
(b)
Interpretation:
The synthesis of given ketone from the indicated acid is to be shown.
