Question
**Conversion of 1-Butanol to a Specified Compound**

1. **Chemical Structure**:
   - Begin with 1-butanol, an alcohol with the molecular structure represented as:
     -CH3(CH2)3OH
   - The target compound is depicted with an emerging OH group.

2. **Objective**:
   - Convert 1-butanol into the specified four-carbon compound using a series of chemical reagents in the correct order.

3. **Reagents Provided**:
   - Each reagent is labeled with a letter (A to F), and the conversion sequence should be specified as a string of these letters without spaces or punctuation, for example, "EBF".

4. **List of Reagents**:

   - **A**:
     1. MeMgBr (Methylmagnesium bromide)
     2. H3O+ (Hydronium ion)

   - **B**:
     1. EtMgBr (Ethylmagnesium bromide)
     2. H3O+ (Hydronium ion)

   - **C**: DMP or PCC (Dess-Martin periodinane or Pyridinium chlorochromate)

   - **D**: H2, Lindlar’s catalyst

   - **E**: Concentrated H2SO4 (Sulfuric acid), heat

   - **F**: Na2Cr2O7 (Sodium dichromate), H2SO4 (Sulfuric acid), H2O (Water)

5. **Instructions**:
   - Determine the appropriate sequence of reagents to convert 1-butanol to the depicted target compound.
   - Provide the sequence of reagent labels as a single string of letters. If multiple correct solutions exist, present just one valid sequence.

6. **Note**:
   - Pay close attention to the transformation that each reagent or combination of reagents imparts to the starting material.

This educational exercise helps in understanding organic chemistry reactions and the systematic approach required to achieve specific chemical transformations.
