Title: How would this reaction take place?
Post by: RubenRey on January 16, 2021, 01:19:12 PM: Hello :) this is my first post so excuse me if i make any mistakes.
I was wondering how this reaction would take place. What reagant would you add etc.

Also what is the final molecule called?
Thanks in advance

EDIT: my thought process was to reduce the carbonyl to an alcohol. Then maybe protonate the OH so it would be a good leaving group. However after this im stuck and don't know how to procede
