← Back to Organic Chemistry Problem-Solving Approach
Approach:
- Count no. of C in reactant & product
+1C → Add CN–
–1C → Iodoform or Oxidative cleavage
- Work backwards from product until stuck.
Ask: What compound can be used to form this product?
- Work forward from reactants.
Ask: What reactions can this compound undergo?
