Homework Statement
Convert the following:
From butane to 2,3-dimethylpent-2-ene
Homework Equations
organic synthesis
The Attempt at a Solution
Working forwards I get:
Cl2 and light/separate yielding 1-chorobutane
Working backwards I get:
2,3-dimethylpent-2-ene converted by I- and acetone
and the vic dibromide compound (2,3-dibromopent-2-ene)
this is converted from Br2/CCl4
That's all I have and I am stuck... any help is appreciated!
