What is the major organic product of the following sequence of reactions?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The starting material is an alkene with two double bonds. First, it undergoes epoxidation with peroxyacetic acid, resulting in the formation of an epoxide (product 1). This epoxide is then opened via acid-catalyzed ring opening with methanol, forming a primary alcohol (product 2). Oxidation of 2 with chromic acid then results in the formation of a carboxylic acid (product 3). Finally, decarboxylation occurs upon heating to give an alkene with only one double bond (product 4). Therefore, the major organic product is product 4.
