Question: In a research laboratory focused on green chemistry, a team is working on developing a new catalytic process to synthesize an environmentally friendly fuel additive, 'Compound F'. The process begins with a simple organic molecule 'Compound E' (C₃H₆O) and involves a series of catalytic reactions. The sequence of the synthesis is as follows: 'Compound E' undergoes a hydrogenation reaction in the presence of a palladium catalyst. The product from step 1 is then treated with an acid catalyst, leading to an intramolecular reaction to form a cyclic compound. Finally, 'Compound F' is produced through an oxidation reaction using a heterogeneous catalyst under mild conditions. Based on this sequence, what is the most likely structure or class of 'Compound F'? Options: A. A cyclic ether B. A tertiary alcohol C. An aldehyde

A carboxylic acid Hints: Consider the initial structure of 'Compound E' suggested by C₃H₆O and its transformation through each step. Reflect on the types of reactions – hydrogenation, acid-catalyzed intramolecular reaction, and mild oxidation – and how they influence the molecular structure. Think about the likely outcomes of these reactions in the context of synthesizing environmentally friendly compounds. Don't use chatgpt please provide valuable answer
Definition Definition Class of organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group ( - COOH ) and has a general formula R - COOH or R - CO 2 H , where R refers to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other groups. They can undergo different chemical reactions, such as acid-base reactions, esterification, and oxidation. These are essential components of living organisms, playing important roles in metabolic processes, signaling, and as pharmaceuticals.
