Rank the following compounds in order of increasing reactivity in nucleophilic addition

(a) Explain how in can reduce hemiacetal A to butane-1,4-diol (b) What product is formed when A is treated with ? (c) The drug isotretinoin is formed by the reaction of X and Y. What is the structure of isotretinoin? Although isotretinoin (trade name Accutane or Roaccutane) is used for the treatment of severe acne, it is dispensed under strict controls because it also causes birth defects
