The correct Answer is:
To find the end product of the given conversion, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Starting Compound The starting compound is a carboxylic acid with a ketone functional group: \[ CH_3-C(=O)-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-COOH \] ### Step 2: Reduction with NaBH4 Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a mild reducing agent that selectively reduces ketones to alcohols but does not affect carboxylic acids. In this case, the ketone group will be reduced to an alcohol. The ketone group \( C(=O) \) will be converted to an alcohol \( C(OH) \): \[ CH_3-CHOH-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-COOH \] ### Step 3: Acidic Hydrolysis Next, we perform acidic hydrolysis by adding water and an acid (H+). The hydroxyl group (OH) from the alcohol will be protonated to form an oxonium ion. The structure now becomes: \[ CH_3-C(OH^+)-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-COOH \] ### Step 4: Formation of Carbocation The oxonium ion can lose a water molecule, leading to the formation of a carbocation: \[ CH_3-C^+-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-COOH \] ### Step 5: Nucleophilic Attack The lone pair on the oxygen of the carboxylic acid can now attack the carbocation, leading to the formation of a cyclic structure (ring formation). This results in the formation of a cyclic intermediate. ### Step 6: Final Product After the rearrangement and loss of a proton (H+), the final product is formed. The structure of the final product will be: \[ CH_3-C(OH)-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-COOH \] ### Conclusion The final product of the conversion is: \[ CH_3-CHOH-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-COOH \] This corresponds to option A in the question. ---
