How Do You Solve This Organic Chemistry Synthesis Problem? Please Help.?

1- add as little from this to that
2- remove this from that but be careful, it should be very very little
3- combine the remaining and add 1/2 tea spoon of H2O with 1/4 of CH
4- enjoy the mixture and have it after food three times a day

Usually, when I don't know an answer, I keep my big mouth shut, but Wassam's answer upset me so I thought I'd at least try to help. The formula you've written doesn't make sense, Answermeplz; ....at least it doesn't to me. You've written a formula with two carbon atoms in your chain having two oxygen atoms attached to them. That's impossible. Look at your problem again. Perhaps you've copied it wrong; if not, then it's a typographical error. I'm sorry, I'd like to help, but I can't.

There is a typo here somewhere. The stated problem CAN be worked, but it involves multiple long tedious reactions, which I'm sure you wd not be subjected to.

dimethyl malonate ---> malonic acid (CH2)1
or
dimethyl adipate ---> adipic acid (CH2)4
was probably meant.

Both are simply hydrolysis reactions, the alcohol being split from the acid by means of alkali...eg
H3COOC(CH2)xCOOCH3 --[NaOH/H2O] 2CH3OH + NaOOC(CH2)xCOONa --[HCl/H2O] HOOC(CH2)xCOOH +2NaCl

The salt is water-soluble, but the acid ppts out and can be isolated by filtering/washing.

CH3OOCCH2)2 dimethyl succinate... + xs NaOH ---> HOOC-CH2CH2COOH

HOOC-CH2CH2COOH +  xsSOCl2 ---> ClOC-CH2CH2COCl

ClOC-CH2CH2COCl  + (1) CH2N2 THEN (2) Ag2O/H2O HOOC-CH2CH2CH2CH2COOH adipic acid
