Identify compound U that contains only three elements.

(b)[1]

Describe the reagents and the conditions used in reaction 1.

(c)[1]

Identify compound V from the scheme.

(d)[1]

Complete the equation shown for reaction 3. $\text{CH}_3\text{COOH} + \text{SOCl}_2 \rightarrow \; \ldots$

(e)[1]

Identify compound W from the information given.

(f)[1]

Describe the conditions used for reaction 4.

(g)[1]

Suggest the reagent used in reaction 6.

(h)[4]

Complete Table 7.1 by inserting the reaction numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, into the right-hand column. Use the reaction numbers from Fig. 7.1. Each of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 must be used once only.
