Question - All synthesis must begin with any carbon compound that has no more than two carbon atoms or benzene unless otherwise stated. Any inorganic reagent is available. Once a compound has been synthesized it can be used at any other point in other questions.
1. Propose the synthesis of acetic acid from any alkane, alkene or alkyne.
2. Propose a synthesis for diethyl malonate from acetic acid.
3. Propose a synthesis for Ethyl Phenylacetate.
If you could attach the mechanism you drew that would be appreciated.
