Multi-step organic synthesis + functional tests
Knowledge bridge
Step 1: push each reagent in order to get intermediates Q, R, S, T. Step 2: recognise the heterocyclic closure in T. Step 3: apply Tollens (and related tests) only to the structure that still has the oxidisable group (S).
Why it feels hard
Mechanism memory plus lab-test logic in one multi-correct/sequence item.
What to practise
After every synthesis map, annotate which intermediates pass Tollens/Fehling/iodoform.
