Question 3

What are the two questions to ask when dealing with synthesis problems?

Answer 3

1. Is there a change in the carbon skeleton? (Did the product gain carbon atoms)
2. Is there a change in the identity or location of the functional group? (Did a functional group change into another & did the position change)

Question 4
