Answer

Synthesis of CH3CH2CH2CHO

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Retrosynthesis

In this method, the final product is the target molecule, and a stepwise breakdown is performed to derive the intermediates and starting materials used to obtain the product. A retrosynthetic analysis also provides information about the pathway of the reaction.

02

Retrosynthetic breakdown of  CH3CH2CH2CHO

To derive a pathway where CH3CH2CH2CHO is formed from a two-carbon starting material, the retrosynthetic pathway used is shown below:
