Answer 1

In first step- COONa CH3 KMnO4 s Naot > In second step- 0101 soona a acidwankul In third step - COOH Na(s), NHI U FA MeoH so, oftion ® is the correct answer. Third (3) stef is known as Birch reduction. The mechanism of the following Birch reduction is- Hoo Haco 1 Honco o leta -meoo Nacs) 1 g from Na in NH3 -Омо Nals) Aagnle from I Nainn HOO HOnco Meo-H so, option ® is the correct answer.
