Questions 106820 and 116654 ask the same question pertaining to a highly detailed synthetic chemistry problem. 116654 was closed as a duplicate but contains the much superior answer. I propose that 116654 be re-opened and 106820 closed.

The questions to be considered are:
- How could you accomplish the following transformation in sufficient yield? (older)
- https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/116654/what-reagents-or-series-of-reactions-would-allow-for-selective-hydroxylation-of (newer)
Since the two questions are literally asking exactly the same thing, with exactly the same substrate and transformation to be accomplished, I have merged both. This consolidates comments and answers on one question. Since the action of merging is mostly 'commutative' in the sense that merging A into B yields the same results as merging B into A, I merged the newer question into the older one. (The question text of the older one is also marginally better explained, in my opinion.)
See also: What is a "merged" question?.
I have also deleted the newer question, which means that you will need 10,000 reputation to view it.
