-
The first 2 steps create the core carbon chain using alkyne anions
-
Then HBr is added to the triple bond to create 2 anti-addition products
-
A methyl group replaces bromine using Grinard.
-
NBS causes radical substitution at allylic position, and bromine's
high selectivity makes secondary substitution favorable (p. 337).
This creates 2 different major products.
-
Finally, -OH subsitutes bromine.
