3) Provide an efficient multistep synthesis for each of the following conversions of the given starting
material into product. For each transformation, give all necessary reagents and catalysts and give a
structural formula of the organic product. Show stereochemistry appropriately when necessary.

4) Using arrows to show the flow of electrons, write a stepwise mechanism for the reaction shown below.
For your mechanism, concisely explain why X = 81% yield and Y = 19% yield when the reaction is
performed at -80°C and why X = 44% yield and Y = 56% yield when the reaction is performed at room
temperature (25°C).
