To identify the compounds A, B, and C in the given reaction sequence, we will analyze each step of the reaction carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Starting Compound**: The starting compound is `CH₂BrCOOC₂H₅`, which is an alpha-bromo ester. 2. **Reaction with Zinc**: The first step involves the reaction of the alpha-bromo ester with zinc. This is a well-known reaction called the Reformatsky reaction. In this reaction, zinc inserts itself into the carbon-bromine bond, leading to the formation of a zinc alkoxide intermediate. - **Product A**: The product after this step (A) will be `CH₂(ZnBr)COOC₂H₅`, which can be represented as `CH₂COOC₂H₅` with a zinc atom replacing the bromine. ...
