Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

An organic acid P (C11H12O2) can easily be oxidized to a dibasic acid which reacts with ethyleneglycol to produce a polymer dacron. Upon ozonolysis, P gives an aliphatic ketone as one of the products. P undergoes the following reaction sequences to furnish R via Q. The compound P also undergoes another set of reactions to produce S.
