Look up the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) of 1-tetralone, methyl iodide and methyl vinyl ketone and summarize each in one paragraph. How many sections does a MSDS contain in general?

In this assignment, you are given the two-step synthesis of 10a-Methyl-1,9,10,10a-tetrahydro-2H- phenanthren-3-one. This compound can be converted to a multitude of products in target-oriented synthesis. In STEP 1, 3,4-Dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one, known by its common/trivial name 1- tetralone, is alkylated with methyl iodide, using sodium ethoxide as the base. In STEP 2, the alkylated 1-tetralone undergoes Robinson annulation with methyl vinyl ketone to give the desired 10a-Methyl- 1,9,10,10a-tetrahydro-2H-phenanthren-3-one.
