Problem- You are running out of money to continue your research, but all you need to win the Nobel Prize and get enough money to fund your research for the next 20 years is to synthesize the molecule that cures cancer. You need 2-bromo-3-methylpentane for the last step of this important medicinal breakthrough. The chemicals you have left in your lab are 3-methylpentane and the reagents listed below.
a) Diborane and diglyme
b) Bromine and a UV light source
c) Sodium ethoxide dissolved in ethanol
d) A solution of sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide
e) Hydrogen bromide and peroxides
List each reagent (by its corresponding letter) in the order you would use it to accomplish your goal. You may not need all of the reagents.
I want you to clarify the chemistry in this above problem.
