Question
There is only one synthetic scheme, given the reagents in the table, that can lead to the product shown in relatively good yield in 4 synthetic steps where one of the 4 steps is an acid workup.
Note: solvents, equivalencies and temperatures are not indicated in the table, but assume you have the appropriate solvent, as much reagent as you need and access to heat and cold baths as needed.
Input the red letter that corresponds to the reagent needed in the order it is needed to effect the given transformation.The answer will be given for a step after you have exhausted your submissions for that step.
Explanation / Answer
The steps for the given transformation would be,
Step 1. : L [reduction of lactone to diol]
Step 2. : E [oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes]
Step 3. : H [Intramolecular aldol reaction]
Step 4.: D [Dehydration]
end product.
