Can you help find the best reagent for this problem?
### Ozonolysis Reaction Mechanism In the image, we have an organic chemistry reaction illustrating the ozonolysis of a fatty acid. The reaction begins with a fatty acid substrate and ends with a product that includes both a carboxylic acid and a peroxide. #### Substrate Structure: - The starting molecule on the left is a fatty acid with an extended carbon chain and a carboxyl group (-COOH) at one end. - It has a double bond (C=C) located at the ninth carbon when counting from the carboxyl group. #### Product Structure: - The product molecule on the right also has a carboxyl group at one end. - The position of the double bond in the substrate leads to the formation of a peroxide (ROOH) group at the end of the non-carboxylic carbon chain. #### Reaction Conditions: The question mark "?" indicates that the appropriate reagents and conditions to achieve the transformation need to be identified from the provided options. #### Options for the Reaction Conditions: a) 1. \( O_3, -78^\circ C \) 2. \( H_2O_2 \) (aq) b) \( mCPBA, CH_2Cl_2 \) c) \( OsO_4, t-BuOH/H_2O \) d) \( O_2 \) e) \( H_2SO_4 \) (cat.), \( H_2O \) ### Explanation of Each Option: - **Option (a)**: This condition represents ozonolysis. Ozone ( \( O_3 \) ) cleaves the double bond at low temperature, and the oxidative work-up with hydrogen peroxide ( \( H_2O_2 \) ) results in the formation of carboxylic acids and peroxides. - **Option (b)**: This involves mCPBA (meta-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid) typically used for epoxidation of alkenes, not quite suitable for the described transformation. - **Option (c)**: Osmium tetroxide ( \( OsO_4 \) ) in the presence of tert-butyl alcohol ( \( t-BuOH \) ) and water is commonly used for syn-dihydroxylation of alkenes, forming diols rather than the required product. - **Option (d)**: Molecular oxygen ( \( O_2
