(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To obtain the desired product, the reactant molecule must undergo a Grignard reaction and needs a protecting group to facilitate the reaction to occur. The protecting reagent is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Normally, an aryl bromide can directly be converted to arylmagnesium halide by reaction with Magnesium. But in this case, there is the presence of an acidic alcoholic group which can hinder the formation of Grignard reagent, which is a strong base. To prevent this, an OH protecting group is needed to stop the hindrance and facilitate the reaction to occur.

After the formation of the Grignard reagent, it can be coupled with a suitable reactant, followed by deprotection, to obtain the final product.
