Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In order to convert a ketone into alcohol, the correct option has to be chosen from the given oxidizing and reducing agents.

Concept Introduction:

In organic chemistry, oxidation reaction is referred to the number C−O bonds increase and/or number of C−H bonds decrease.

In organic chemistry, reduction reaction is referred to the number C−O bonds decrease and/or number of C−H bonds increase.

Alcohols undergo oxidation reaction and reduction reaction.  This depends upon the number of hydrogen atoms that is bonded to the alpha carbon atom.  Primary and secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation reaction while tertiary alcohol does not undergo oxidation reaction.  Primary alcohols undergo oxidation to give aldehyde and carboxylic acid as product.  Secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation to give ketone as the product.

Aldehyde undergoes oxidation to give carboxylic acid as the product while ketone does not undergo oxidation reaction.

The reverse of oxidation reaction is reduction reaction.  Reduction of aldehyde gives primary alcohol as the product and reduction of ketone gives secondary alcohol as the product.  Reduction can be accomplished using hydrogen gas and a metal catalyst namely nickel.

Hi!! Please provide a solution that is handwritten. Ensure all figures, reaction mechanisms (with arrows and lone pairs please!!), and structures are clearly drawn to illustrate the synthesis of the product as per the standards of a third year organic chemistry course. ****the solution must include all steps, mechanisms, and intermediate structures as required. Please hand-draw the mechanisms and structures to support your explanation. Don’t give me AI-generated diagrams or text-based explanations, no wordy explanations on how to draw the structures I need help with the exact mechanism hand drawn by you!!!    I am reposting this—ensure all parts of the question are straightforward and clear or please let another expert handle it thanks!!
