OCH3 From the choices provided below, list the reagent(s) in order that will yield the transformation shown above. List your answer as a series of letters in the order the reagents are used (with no commas separating them). No more than four steps are required for this synthesis Use the minimum number of steps possible. Reagents may be used more than once in subsequent steps Ex. "dop" corresponds to: 1. NaCN 2. NaOH 3. PCC NOTE: The order in which you list your letters matters!

Explanation / Answer

1) the first step will be dehydrohalogenation by the help of potassium ter-butoxide

It will give alkene

2) treatement of alkene with OsO4 to give diol

3) selective ehterification of one hydroxyl group by CH3OH CH3O-

4) then oxidation of other hdyroxyl group by PCC to give ketone
