MY NOTES

you can make this tertiary alcohol from the simple Grignard reagent reaction you learned in your $CH223$ course.

A$)$ Draw the structure of your target alcohol.

Use the name to make sure you have the correct number of carbons:

hept $=$ how many carbons?

benzyl $=$ how many carbons?

pent $=$ how many carbons?

For the last step in your potential Nobel$-$prize winning cancer cure drug you need $3-$benzyl$-1-$cyclopentylheptan$-3-$ol$,$ but no chemical company sells this particular alcohol. wonderful synthetic chemist that you are, figure you can make this tertiary alcohol from the simple Grignard reagent reaction you learned in your $CH223$ course.

A$)$ Draw the structure of your target alcohol.

Use the name to make sure you have the correct number of carbons:

hept $=$ how many carbons?

benzyl $=$ how many carbons?

pent $=$ how many carbons?

Add them up and that's how many carbons your target molecule should have $-$ no more, no less.
