Chemistry - Graduate Chemistry - Advanced organic synthesis - Plan a Synthesis

Given a target molecule (1-phenyl-1-propanol: C₆H₅CH(OH)CH₂CH₃), students plan the synthesis. Prompt: 'Work backward. What bond could you make to build this molecule?' Options to consider: 1) Grignard approach A: PhMgBr + propanal → 1-phenyl-1-propanol. 2) Grignard approach B: EtMgBr + benzaldehyde
