So, my question is how would I make a bridge as seen on the following molecule (right side)?
As for the molecule on the left, I am supposed to make it using that molecule as a base. The only requirement is that every other molecule I use that uses carbon, can only have a maximum of 2 carbons.
To reiterate- I need to use the molecule in the left using any inorganic compound, and organic molecules with up to 2 carbons, and turn it into the molecule in the right.
My biggest problem here, is how to make it so that the molecule only reacts in that area. I was thinking of using a mixture of condensation and $\ce{HBr}$ in order to break the $\ce{-OH}$, and temporarily remove a hydrogen.
However, again, I don't know how to make it so it would only react in that specific area.
