Hydrolysis:
Hydrolysis is any chemical reaction in which a water molecule ruptures one or more chemical bonds.

Hydrolysis is reverse of condensation reaction because in this process water is added to beak down.
(f)
Explanation of Solution
Here aqueous work up leads to breaking of the bridging oxygen bond by protonating the oxygen. Thus the angle strain increases as positive charge on electronegative oxygen is tough. Thus the bond breaks and the charge formed is stabilised by electron donating effect of

Cross coupling:

In the case of palladium catalysed cross-coupling reactions the other metal or metalloids are commonly
Suzuki coupling:
The Suzuki coupling uses a boron compound and an alkenyl, aryl or alkyl halide or triflate as the carbon sources with a palladium salt as a catalyst. The reaction is mainly used to form biaryls. The mechanism of the reaction starts with an oxidative addition followed by transmetallation in which the substituent on the borane replaces the ligand on the palladium concluding with the reductive elimination of the palladium to form the new carbon-carbon bond. The base may serve as a new labile ligand to palladium or it may activate the borane by coordination.

(j)
Interpretation:
Probable source of chiral centres has to be found.
Concept introduction:
Chiral centre:
Chiral centre is defined as an atom bonded to four different chemical species. It is a stereo centre that holds the atom in such way that the structure may not be superimposable to its mirror image. They give optical isomerism.
(j)
Explanation of Solution
The source of the chiral centre is only the five membered carbohydrate ring attached to the benzene ring as shown below,
The chiral centre is marked with the asterisk.
(k)
Interpretation:
The need of protection of hydroxyl group has to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Protection-deprotection:
A protecting group is introduced to a molecule by chemical modification of a functional group to obtain chemoselectivity in a subsequent chemical reaction specially in multistep organic synthesis.
(k)
Explanation of Solution
If protection has not been done to the hydroxyl groups then there were possibilities of getting so many unwanted products.
During the acid base reaction all the hydroxyl groups could have lost the proton and thus all the substitution could have taken place in different places. The benzyne formation could have hampered and the stereochemistry could have changed.
The process of protection to the hydroxyl group is given by,
