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 5 synthetic steps where one of the steps is an aqueous acid workup.
Note: equivalencies, solvents and temperatures are not indicated in the table, but assume you have as much as you need and that you have 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.

Step 1 ___

Step 2 ___

Step 3 ___

Step 4 ___

Step 5 ___

Explanation / Answer

1 =   C , forms grignards reagent

2=   P , gives Substitution product forming 10 alcohol with two extra carbon

3=   L =helps in protection of the Ketone group from oxidation

4)   = D oxidises the alcohol, to carboxylic acid

5) = F aqueous acid, helps in removal of glycol forming ketone and protonation of acid
