Fill in the missing reactant, reagent, or product for the following reaction.

Transcribed Image Text:### Organic Chemistry Reaction Pathway
**Problem (b):**
**Hint:** Single molecule starting material!
**Reaction Details:**
- **Starting Material:** Not specified in the image.
- **Reagent/Catalyst:** H₂SO₄ (sulfuric acid), acts as a catalyst.
- **Condition:** Heat is applied.
- **Product:** The product is a six-membered cyclic ether, specifically tetrahydropyran.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- A reaction arrow points from the starting material (not shown) to the product, tetrahydropyran.
- Above the arrow, the catalyst “H₂SO₄ (cat)” is listed, indicating that sulfuric acid is used in catalytic amounts to facilitate the reaction.
- Below the arrow, the condition “Heat” suggests that the reaction requires elevated temperatures to proceed.
This setup suggests an intramolecular ring closure to form a cyclic ether from a linear precursor. The presence of sulfuric acid as a catalyst indicates an acid-catalyzed dehydration or substitution process.
