  1. [figure]
  2. [figure]
  3. [figure]
  4. [figure]

Answer

(3) [figure]

Solution

(i) NaBH4/MeOH reduces only the aldehyde group: -CHO -CH2OH; the amide (lactam) C=O is not reduced by NaBH4.

(ii) NaOH(aq.), Δ hydrolyses the cyclic amide: the ring C(=O)–N bond breaks ⇒ OOC-(CH2)4-NH-CH(CH3)-CH2OH

(iii) H3O+ converts -COO into –COOH ⇒ P:
