Question

12.38 When a consumer purchases a tomato, smell is one of the fac- tors affecting selection. Researchers in Japan have thus analyzed the volatile components of tomatoes using a novel method. Among the complex mixture of 367 compounds detected were 3-methylbutanal and hexanal. Propose a single synthesis that produces an equimolarmixture of these two compounds (equal amounts of both products) starting with one 1°, one 2°, and one 3° alcohol, each with fewer than six carbons. (Note that the designations 1°, 2°, and 3° for alcohols are analogous to those of alkyl halides.)
