Design a synthesis of (R)-salmeterol (Figure 20.3) from the following starting materials.

Treatment of compound C (molecular formula C4H8O) with C6H5MgBr, followed by H2O, affords compound D (molecular formula C10H14O). Compound D has a strong peak in its IR spectrum at 3600鈥�3200 cm-1. The H1 NMR spectral data of C and D are given. What are the structures of C and D?Compound C signals at 1.3 (singlet, 6 H) and 2.4 (singlet, 2 H) ppm Compound D signals at 1.2 (singlet, 6 H), 1.6 (singlet, 1 H), 2.7 (singlet, 2 H), and 7.2 (multiplet, 5 H) ppm

Lithium tri-sec-butylborohydride, also known as L-selectride, is a metal hydride reagent that contains three sec-butyl groups bonded to boron. When this reagent is used to reduce cyclic ketones, one stereoisomer often predominates as product. Explain why the reduction of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone with L-selectride forms the cis alcohol as the major product.
