Part 8: SYNTHESIS (WORK IN PROGRESS... lots to draw)

Answers to the synthesis problems are given below. These answers have been selected as they are short, but there are probably other reasonable solutions.
Red arrows indicate CC bond forming reactions and blue arrows represent functional group interconversions.


synthesis of methoxybutane


synthesis of hexandioic acid

synthesis of 1-cyano-2-butanol


synthesis of 2-butanone
