The goal of this Solutions Manual is not only to provide you with the “correct” answers to end-of- chapter problems, but also fo give you the opportunity to develop a methodical approach to symthesizing @ given target molecule using the tools and concepts covered in Modern Organic Synthesis: An Introduction. ‘We assume that th student is well acquainted with the basic concepts of organic chemistry taught atthe sophomore level, The introductory chapters provide step-by-step solutions to illustrate how a problem is broken down to smaller problems and solved. Later chapters assume the student is well versed in the concepts covered inthe previous chapters; however, the key steps involved in the solutions are highlighted. Throughout the manual, literature references are provided for problems that have been inspired by “real” world examples. ‘To assimilate synthetic methodologies and to integrate them into @ synthetic design requires actual problem solving and not merely looking at the text. Only by ‘writing the answer do we pay attention to details such as proper choice of reagents, ‘reaction conditions, mechanistic implications, and so forth. Thus its important that you refer tothe Solutions Manual only ater you have made a real effort to solve the problem, ‘or simply to verify that your approach is the same as or even Better than the one presented inthe manual. We are grateful to the Chemistry 131 students at UC Davis and especially 10 the tesching assistants of the course for their suggestions and contributions to the development of the problem sts. ‘Michael Nantz, Hasan Palandoken and George Zweifel, Tune 2006 ‘ABBREVIATIONS he. sey cate DMs ety ie Piven fo sic DMSO ollie PN tanta BN 2 nbioluroile DS. eet ety PTS oni fdas ce enatome ce lennon [Athenee “ “selene FP ci miro Bo eat IeProcomcl eT Boag EWG een viene ep fing er qa ih SUN Shoat ATmaRe FO fol pop rr Upbeat 9 Bn ent ‘ new Penn og atten i esi REN Raney ice (aly te. oti on MPN peameyipgponie Witgpe) BPs ciety HQ.

Problem 1 (Functional Group Interconversions) introduces how to recognize precursors of Key functional groups present in a target molecule. Problem 2 (Uimpoling) highlights the use of carbonyl group polarity reversal, an important synthetic tool. Problem 3 (Retrosyathetic Analysis) stresses approaches to disassembling a target molecule into simpler fragments and ultimately into starting materials. Problem 4 (Synthesis) provides the opportunity to put into practice these concepis by designing protocols for the syntheses of various target ‘molecules.
