Answer #1

Answer

A - IV

B - II

C - III

Explanation

step 1: Protection of ketone functional group using 1,3-diol.

1596104444485_blob.png+ 1,3-diol \rightarrow 1596104636141_blob.png                IV (A)

step 2: SN2 substitution of Br- using CN- as the nucleophile

1596104636141_blob.png + CN-        \rightarrow 1596104763489_blob.png     II (B)

step 3: Hydrolysis of CN group and simultaneous deprotection of ketone functional group

1596104763489_blob.png + H3O+\rightarrowо ОН 0 оIII (C)
