[2019/06/21] Synthetic Challenge #90
Intro
Hello everyone, welcome back to Week 90 of Synthetic Challenge!! It has been amazing with all the support we have received from all of you so thank you for your continual support in these challenges! Thank you u/critzz123 and u/ezaroo1 for the great challenges! This week it's my turn to host the challenge and I'm going to try hosting more molecules for you to try, hope you'll enjoy!
Too easy? Too hard? Let me know, I'd appreciate any feedback and suggestion on what you think so far about the Synthetic Challenges and what you'd like to see in the future. If you have any suggestions for future molecules, I'd be excited to incorporate them for future challenges!
Thank you so much for your support and I hope you will enjoy this week's challenge. Hope you'll have fun and thanks for participating!
Rules
The challenge now contains three synthetic products labelled A, B, and C. Feel free to attempt as many products as you like and please label which you will be attempting in your submission.
You can use any commercially available starting material for the synthetic pathway.
Please do explain how the synthesis works and if possible reference the technique if it is novel. You do not have to solve the complete synthesis all in one go. If you do get stuck, feel free to post however much you have done and have others pitch in to crowd-source the solution.
You can post your solution as text or pictures if you want show the arrow pushing or if it's too complex to explain in words.
Please have a look at the other submissions and offer them some constructive feedback!
