Using Magnesium with Tetrahydrafurian (THF), using a ketone to add onto
the carbon chain.
-
The hydroxyl group was replaced by bromine using PBr3
-
Mg/THF was again utilized to add the final 2 carbons to the product.
-
The hydrogen on the hydroxyl group is replaced by tosyl, which acts as
a great leaving group.
-
Elimanation of the TsO- creates a double bond, and for our purposes
the Zaitseff or Hoffman product will eventually lead to the product
-
Hydrogen on activated Platinum creates the desired alkane.
