#### Instructions:

#### Question:
What compound is formed when the aldose is treated with H₂ in the presence of a Pd catalyst?

#### Aldose Structure:
The given aldose has the following structure:
- It has a carbonyl group (C=O) at the first carbon (an aldehyde group).
- Hydroxyl groups (–OH) are attached to the second, third, and fourth carbons.
- The fifth carbon has a hydroxymethyl group (–CH₂OH).
  
Below is the step-by-step reaction and resulting structure:

1. **Reacting Aldose with H₂ and Pd Catalyst:**
   - The reduction of the aldehyde group (C=O) to a primary alcohol (–CH₂OH) occurs in the presence of hydrogen gas (H₂) and a palladium (Pd) catalyst.
   - The carbonyl group at the first carbon is reduced to a hydroxyl group (–OH).

2. **Product Formation:**
   - After reduction, the resulting compound is an alditol (a sugar alcohol).
   - The final structure features a hydroxyl group at each carbon.

#### Explanation of Diagram:
There is a diagram illustrating this reduction process which includes:

- **Before Reaction:**
  - The initial aldose structure with the aldehyde group (C=O) and hydroxyl groups (–OH) on the second, third, and fourth carbons.

- **Reaction Process:**
  - An arrow indicates the addition of H₂ in the presence of a Pd catalyst pointing to the resulting reduced structure.

- **After Reaction:**
  - The product alditol, with hydroxyl groups on each carbon, is displayed in a highlighted box with options for further editing or reviewing in the drawing utility.

This reaction simplifies the understanding of how an aldose can be reduced to its corresponding alditol through catalytic hydrogenation.
