An aldehyde or ketone containing at least one $\alpha-H$ atom reacts with dilute $NaOH$ to form a $\beta-$hydroxy aldehyde or $\beta-$hydroxy ketone. This reaction is known as $—$

Aldehydes can be oxidised by

$x$ is the product obtained from propanenitrile and stannous chloride in the presence of hydrochloric acid followed by hydrolysis. $y$ is the product obtained from but$-2-$ene by ozonolysis followed by hydrolysis. From the following, which product is not obtained when one mole of $x$ and one mole of $y$ react with each other in the presence of alkali followed by heating?

Identify the reagents $S$ and $\mu$ in the scheme below in which $R$ is converted to the nitrile via the benzylic halide. $R, S$ and $\mu$ respectively are:
