15. (12 points) Retrosynthesis is a planning process of working backwards from a desired target molecule
and determining which reactants can be used to make the molecule. This is usually a multistep
process and is used to design pathways to complex, bioactive molecules. In the cases below, you
need to use only one step. Show all of the starting molecules, and give any other reactants and
conditions (H+, heat ∆, etc.) needed to make the product shown on the right for FOUR of the following
five reactions. Write OMIT over the one you wish to skip or I will simply grade the first
four regardless of which ones are correct!
