Design a synthesis of 2-methyl-2-pentanol from 1-bromo-2-methylpentane part 1: choose the best option for the immediate precursor to the target molecule. an alkene that has greater substitution on one end of the double bond permits you to control the regiochemistry, placing the oh group selectively on one of the two double bond carbons. this alkene is the best choice, considering the starting material that you have available. part 2: choose the best option for the precursor needed to make the alkene. alkenes can be made in good yield by elimination of hbr from an alkyl halide. whenever possible, use an alkyl halide that can only make a single alkene by hbr elimination. part 3: here is an overview of your retrosynthesis (there is no work, this is just a recap). part 4 out of 6 choose the most appropriate reagent(s) for the first step of the synthesis.
