Paragraph :
Treatment of compound \(\mathbf{O}\) with \(\mathrm{KMnO}_{4} / \mathrm{H}^{+}\)gave \(\mathbf{P}\), which on heating with ammonia gave \(\mathbf{Q}\). The compound \(\mathbf{Q}\) on treatment with \(\mathrm{Br}_{2} / \mathrm{NaOH}\) produced \(\mathbf{R}\). On strong heating, \(\mathbf{Q}\) gave \(\mathbf{S}\), which on further treatment with ethyl \(2-\)bromopropanoate in the presence of \(\mathrm{KOH}\) followed by acidification, gave a compound \(\mathbf{T}\).
