Consider the given reaction sequence-
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Aldehyde reacts with 2 eq. HCHO in OH⁻ → gives diol (P) via aldol-type addition.
So P contains two –CH₂OH groups.
Diol (P) reacts with ketone in acidic medium (HCl).
This leads to cyclic ketal (acetal) formation.
Stable 6-membered ring is formed.
