Answer #1

The option b) represents the last intermediate in Kiliani -Fischer synthesis.

In this synthesis, the net change is the addition of a carbon atom to aldose molecule. In the first step, aldehyde reacts with KCN. A cyano group is added to carbonyl carbon of the aldehyde group. In the next step, this cyano group is hydrolyzed with dilute sulphuric acid. In this step, a cyclic ester is obtained which is the last intermediate in synthesis. Finally The ester group is reduced to aldehyde by using Na/Hg and water.
