Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The final product with a molecular formula C9H9ClO3 for the given series of reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Thionyl chloride (SOCl2) can be used to convert carboxylic into acyl chloride. The overall reaction converts poor leaving group, OH, into a good leaving group, Cl.

Lithium aluminum hydride is a strong reducing agent. The reduction of a carboxylic acid by LiAlH4 yields alcohol.

Oxidation reaction involves an increase in the CX bonds (where X usually is oxygen or a halogen atom) or decrease in the CH bonds.

Reduction reaction involves a decrease in the CX bonds (where X usually is oxygen or a halogen atom) or increase in the CH bonds.
