When the epoxide 2‑vinyloxirane reacts with lithium dibutylcuprate, followed by protonolysis, compound A is the major product formed. Oxidation of A with PCC yields B, a compound that gives a positive Tollens test and has an intense UV absorption around 215 nm. Treatment of B with followed by catalytic hydrogenation, gives octanoic acid. Identify A and B.
