Construct a detailed sequence of rxn to synthesize meso-1,2,-dichlorocyclopentane as the major substrate product, starting with (1R,2S)-2-bromocyclopentanol as the subtrate.
1. May use any compounds except meso-1,2-dichlorocyclopentane.
2. Product of each step should be the major substrate product for that step. Do not need to show the isolation or purification process.
3. if a solvent or solvent type is important for a step to occur successfully should indicate the solvent used.
Can work backwards towards the reactant side.
