Solution

(P) Cyclohexene route: Ozonolysis (reductive, Zn) opens the ring to give hexanedial (OHC-(CH)-CHO). Intramolecular aldol with aq. NaOH/ closes to cyclopent-1-enecarbaldehyde. Protect the -CHO as cyclic acetal (ethylene glycol/PTSA). Hydroboration-oxidation of the ring alkene (BH then HO/NaOH) gives anti-Markovnikov syn alcohol on the ring. Acid hydrolysis unmasks the aldehyde, and finally NaBH reduces it to a -CHOH. The product is 2-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentan-1-ol. P 3.

(Q) 1-Methylcyclohexene route: Same sequence; ozonolysis cleaves the trisubstituted alkene to give a keto-aldehyde. Intramolecular aldol followed by acetal protection of the ketone, then hydroboration-oxidation gives the secondary ring alcohol, deprotection, NaBH reduces the ketone (or aldehyde, depending on the case) to alcohol. The product carries -CH(OH)CH side chain on a ring next to an -OH. Q 5.

(R) 2-Methylcyclopent-2-enone (R): Protect ketone as ketal. Oxymercuration of the alkene gives the Markovnikov tertiary alcohol adjacent to the ketal. NaBH demercurates. Hydrolysis returns the ketone, NaBH then reduces it to a secondary alcohol on the ring carbon next to the tertiary -OH. Product has tertiary -OH and adjacent -OH with methyl on the tertiary carbon. R 4.

(S) 2-Methylcyclopent-2-enone (same start as R but with hydroboration): Ketal protection, hydroboration-oxidation gives anti-Markovnikov secondary alcohol (away from the methyl), hydrolysis regenerates the ketone, NaBH reduces it. The result is 2-methylcyclopentane-1,3-diol. S 1.

Option (A): P-3, Q-5, R-4, S-1.
