*Complete the following sequence of reactions by drawing the structures of compounds A through D. Hint: Compound D has the molecular formula C5H8O4.

HO-CH 2 -CH 2 -CO-NH2   -> Hydrolysis (pH 1) -> Compound A + NH 4 +

Compound A  -> Oxidation -> Compound B 

Compound B -> Oxidation -> Compound C

Compound C + 2 CH3-OH -> Condensation -> Compound D + 2 H2O
