Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reasonable structure for the product ${\text{C}}_{\text{16}}{\text{H}}_{\text{20}}{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}\text{S}$ and $6$-aminopenicillianic acid $\left({\text{C}}_{\text{8}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}\text{S}\right)$ is to be drawn.
