Interpretation:
The given synthesis scheme is to be converted to word form that can be used as instructions in the laboratory.
Concept introduction:
The synthesis scheme is the balanced chemical equation written for carrying out a sequence of reactions with specified steps. The synthetic step displays that the reactants are converted to the product by reacting with reagents in the required conditions.
The structures on the left side of the reaction arrow () are the reactants. The reagents used are written above the arrow, and the reaction conditions including solvent, temperature, pH, time of reaction, etc. are written below the arrow. If more than one sequence is combined in one step, then the reagents are numbered according to their sequence and can be written above and below the reaction arrow. In such cases, the reaction conditions are separated from the reactant or reagent by either a comma or a slash. The numbers given to reagents represent that the reaction goes to completion before the next reagent is added. The structures on the right side of the reaction arrow

Answer to Problem 13.28P
The word form for the given synthesis scheme is:
Heat in aqueous hydrochloric acid to form , add phosphorous tribromide to it to produce . Then, react with sodium azide to yield the final product.
Explanation of Solution
The given synthesis scheme is:
The given synthetic route is of three steps. The nitro functional group remains as it is throughout the reaction sequence, and so, is not considered. In the first step, ether functional group is converted to an alcohol. In the second step, group of alcohol is replaced by bromine, which in the third step is replaced by . In the first step, the reagent used is that represents acidic condition where is the symbol used for heat. In the second step, the reagent is , phosphorous tribromide, and in the third step, the reagent used is sodium azide, . Thus, the word form of the above synthetic scheme can be written as follows:
Heat in aqueous hydrochloric acid to form , and add phosphorous tribromide to it to produce . Then, react with sodium azide to yield the final product.
