$\mathbf{P}$ can be reduced to a primary alcohol using $\mathrm{NaBH}_{4}$.

Treating $\mathbf{P}$ with conc. $\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{OH}$ solution followed by acidification gives $\mathbf{Q}$.

Treating $\mathbf{Q}$ with a solution of $\mathrm{NaNO}_{2}$ in aq. $\mathrm{HCl}$ liberates $\mathrm{N}_{2}$.

$\mathbf{P}$ is more acidic than $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{COOH}$.

$\mathbf{P}=\mathrm{H}_{2} / \mathrm{Pd}$, ethanol     $\mathbf{R}=\mathrm{NaNO}_{2} / \mathrm{HCl}$
