This is a problem from my chemistry homework. Any help is much appreciated :)
Draw a reaction scheme to show how comp X can be synthesised from the starting materials. Give an explanation for the order in which the reactions are carries out. The following reagents are available:
SOCl2, NaOH(aq), NaOH(alc), conc HCl, MnO4^-/H+, Cr2O7^2-/H+
starting materials: benzoic acid, methanamine and 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylcyclopent-1-ene
