Transcribed Image Text:### Organic Chemistry Reaction Pathways
#### Problem Statement:
Given the alkyne structure on the left, determine the correct reaction pathway to yield the product on the right, which displays a hydroxyl (-OH) addition with stereochemistry (± configuration).
The potential reaction pathways and reagents are:
a)
1. \( \text{H}_2 (\text{g}), \text{Lindlar catalyst} \)
2. \( \text{OsO}_4, \text{t-BuOH/H}_2\text{O} \)
b)
1. \( \text{OsO}_4, \text{t-BuOH/H}_2\text{O} \)
2. \( \text{H}_2 (\text{g}), \text{Lindlar catalyst} \)
c)
1. \( \text{OsO}_4, \text{t-BuOH/H}_2\text{O} \)
2. \( \text{Na (s)}, \text{NH}_3 (\text{l}), -78^\circ\text{C} \)
d)
1. \( \text{Na (s)}, \text{NH}_3 (\text{l}), -78^\circ\text{C} \)
2. \( \text{OsO}_4, \text{t-BuOH/H}_2\text{O} \)
#### Explanation of Reaction Pathways:
1. **Lindlar Catalyst:**
- Used for the partial hydrogenation of alkynes to **cis-alkenes**.
- Reaction with \( \text{H}_2 (\text{g}) \) in the presence of Lindlar catalyst adds hydrogen atoms to the same side of the triple bond.
2. **Osmium Tetroxide \( (\text{OsO}_4) \):**
- Used for the syn-dihydroxylation of alkenes, converting them to **1,2-diols** (glycols) where hydroxyl groups add to the same face of the double bond.
3. **Sodium/Ammonia Reduction:**
- Converts alkynes to **trans-alkenes** via dissolving metal reduction.
- Sodium in liquid ammonia adds hydrogen atoms to opposite sides of the triple bond.
#### Reaction Pathway Analysis:
- Pathway **a** suggests partial hydrogenation of the al
