Chapter 22, Problem 22.53P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The compounds A-M in the given reaction scheme are to be identified.

Concept introduction: The organic transformation reactions depend on the reagents used. These transformations involve interconversion of functional groups. For example, the reduction of ester with $\left[1\right]{\text{LiAlH}}_{\text{4}},\left[2\right]{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$, yields a primary alcohol.
