Answer 1

The given tertiary alcohol is OH 4-Methylheptan-4-ol This is a tertiary alcohol To prepare this we can start with an ester 2 equivalent s op Goignard's reagent. GHE + L Mg-B

Preparation opestry from Ethanol: oxidation o Cro3 он RoH + Ho! - H₂o Ethyl Acetate Preparation op propyl magnesiumbromide from Ethanol: oxidation - OH H₂O socl CHaNa CHNO > O=C=che H3

0 = c =CH-CH3. C - CH₂ - CH₂ Reduction LiAlHa Bs 83 CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂-OH (o=P-BY) mg, Etzo 2+ Mg Br = Mg Bro finally i slave. 4o Hot 4-Methyl heptan-4-ol
