The intramolecular Heck reaction replaces aryl iodide by a new carbon–carbon bond to the tethered alkene. β-Hydride elimination places the remaining alkene next to the new fused-ring junction, as in P of C. LiAlH₄ reduces the side-chain nitrile to a primary amine, which acetic anhydride acetylates to CH₂NHCOCH₃. The tosyl-protected ring nitrogen remains as drawn. Only C combines the correct alkene position and nitrile-to-acetamide conversion.
