**Homework #16:** **Question 8:** What is the name of the first product in the reaction shown below? The reaction involves the following chemical structures: - A reactant composed of a six-carbon chain with a ketone (C=O) group bonded to the second carbon and a hydroxyl group (OH) connected to the same carbon. - An oxygen molecule (O₂) with two hydrogen atoms. - An equilibrium arrow (⇌) indicating a reversible reaction. - A product that has a six-carbon chain with a positively charged oxygen (O⁺) on the second carbon and the remnants of a water molecule (O with three hydrogen atoms around it) with a positive charge. This reaction appears to illustrate an organic chemistry transformation involving a ketone and an acid or permissive acidic condition to form a carbocation intermediate.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Here in this reaction 

The reactant is 4-Methylpentanoic acid 

And in this reaction the acid release one proton to the water molecule and itself converted into 4-Methylpentanoate and hydronium ions (H3O+). 

Here in this reaction simple acid base reaction takes place where 4-Methylpentanoic acid act as acid and water is a base and after reaction acid converted into it's conjugate base that is 4-Methylpentanoate and H3O+
