List-I contains various reaction sequences and List-II contains the possible products. Match each entry in List-I with the appropriate entry in List-II and choose the correct option.
- P-3, Q-5, R-4, S-1
- P-3, Q-2, R-4, S-1
- P-3, Q-5, R-1, S-4
- P-5, Q-2, R-4, S-1
Answer
(1) P-3, Q-5, R-4, S-1
Solution
Ethylene glycol/PTSA protects a C=O as a cyclic acetal/ketal (so it survives the next step); H3O+ removes it; NaBH4 then reduces the freed C=O to CH–OH. Hydroboration–oxidation is anti-Markovnikov; oxymercuration–demercuration is Markovnikov.
P: ozonolysis, then intramolecular aldol condensation (5-membered ring):

ethylene glycol, PTSA [figure] BH3; H2O2, NaOH [figure]
H3O+ [figure] NaBH4 [figure] → (3)
Q: the ketone α-CH2 (enolate) attacks the CHO, giving 1-acetylcyclopentene:
[figure] O3, Zn [figure] aq. NaOH, [figure]
ethylene glycol, PTSA [figure] BH3; H2O2, NaOH [figure]
H3O+ [figure] NaBH4 [figure] → (5)
R: Markovnikov hydration puts OH on the CH3-bearing carbon:
[figure] ethylene glycol, PTSA [figure] Hg(OAc)2, H2O; NaBH4 [figure]
H3O+ [figure] NaBH4 [figure] → (4)
S: anti-Markovnikov hydration puts OH on C-3 (the less substituted alkene carbon):
[figure] ethylene glycol, PTSA [figure] BH3; H2O2, NaOH [figure]
H3O+ [figure] NaBH4 [figure] → (1)
P-3, Q-5, R-4, S-1
