Synthesis Problem
« on: February 18, 2015, 09:11:38 PM »
Hello, I am having a bit of trouble with this problem.

I'm not exactly sure what to do with the Nitrogen group.  Should I substitute it into the ring?  I don't think this is correct because it isn't a benzene ring.  However, I think that Nitrogen is the nucleophile due to the lone pair of electrons and its electronegativity.  I'm unsure of what it should attack.

Thank you in advance!

We haven't learned that yet.  Do you mind explaining?

Thank you!
