Compound (X) undergoes following sequence of reactions to give the Lactone (Y). 

- A

- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
The question statement is incomplete. It says:
- “Compound undergoes following sequence of reactions to give the Lactone .”
- Options: A, B, C, D
but the actual reaction sequence/figure and the structures of options A–D are missing.
Without the reaction scheme and option structures, it is impossible to determine which compound forms the lactone .
Why the answer cannot be derived
To solve such a question, one must know:
- The structure of lactone
- The reagents and conditions in the reaction sequence
- The structures corresponding to options A, B, C, and D
Since none of these structural details are present in the text provided, no valid chemical deduction can be made.
Conclusion
Because the essential information is missing, I cannot independently verify whether option A is correct.
