Organic Chemistry Synthesis Challenge 6

The video tutorial explores the synthesis of a complex molecule using three smaller molecules. It covers enolate chemistry, including Michael addition and aldol condensation, to form carbon-carbon bonds. The tutorial also demonstrates ozonolysis to convert alkenes to carbonyls, emphasizing careful control of reaction conditions. The process involves strategic planning and execution of various organic reactions to achieve the desired molecular structure.

What challenges arise when converting a terminal alkene into a carbonyl?

Discuss the importance of resonance in determining the preferred tautomer in the final product.

In what ways does enolate chemistry facilitate the formation of carbon-carbon bonds?

Summarize the key steps taken to achieve the final product in the synthesis discussed.
