My compound is 2,4-Dimethyl-1-Pentanol
1.      Retrosynthetic analysis ofyour compound: What is a possible precursor?   What arethe reagents you need to obtain your product when using thisprecursor?    Â
2.      In a drawing, show thesynthetic steps that lead from the precursor to your compound. Usecurved arrows properly!
3.      Using your precursor, showmechanisms and products of a Markovnikov and an anti-Markovnikovaddition.
4.      Using the materials obtainedthrough Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov additions to theprecursor, discuss stereochemical aspects. That means: Enantiomers?Diastereomers? Regioisomers? E. g., Markovnikovaddition yields the (?)-enantiomer, while …  . Are thecompounds chiral or achiral, why is that?
         Indicate theproper orientation of substituents by drawing structures withwedges and dashes where necessary.
5.        Identify allchiral centers in your substance and assign R- or S-designations.       Â
