(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The target molecule transformation should be drawn and identified for the given corresponding starting molecules by using its structures.

Concept introduction:

Addition Reaction: It is defined as chemical reaction in which two given molecules combines and forms product. The types of addition reactions are electrophilic addition, nucleophilic addition, free radical additions and cycloadditions. Generally, compounds with carbon-hetero atom bonds favors addition reaction.

Acid Catalyzed Hydration Reaction: The reaction involves breaking of π-bonds between carbon-carbon multiple bonds and addition of alcohol to more substituted position of carbon in the molecule.

Wittig reaction: This process allows the preparation of an alkene by the reaction of an aldehyde ( $\text{-CHO}$) or ketone ( $\text{-C=O}$) with ylides generated from a phosphonium salt. The geometry of the resulting cis, trans alkene depends on the reactivity of the ylide.

Oxidation Reaction: The oxidation-reduction reaction is a type of chemical reaction it is involves a transfer of electrons between two species. In other words oxidation reaction number of a molecule atom or ion changes by gaining or losing electrons.

To identify: The reagents used to accomplish the given transformation
