Question: In a set of the given reactions, acetic acid yielded a product C $ CH_3COOH+PCl_5\to A\underset{anh.AlCl_3}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{C_6H_6}}} $ $ B\underset{ether}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{C_2H_5MgBr}}}C $ .Product C would be
[CBSE PMT 2003]
Options:
A) $ \overset{\overset{C_2H_5}{\mathop{|}}}{\mathop{CH_3-C(OH)C_6H_5}} $
B) $ CH_3CH(OH)C_2H_5 $
C) $ CH_3COC_6H_5 $
D) $ CH_3CH(OH)C_6H_5 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ CH_3COOH+PCl_5\to CH_3COCl\underset{anh.AlCl_3}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{C_6H_6}}} $
$ CH_3COC_6H_5\underset{Ether}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{C_2H_5MgBr}}}CH_3-\overset{ _{|}^{C_2H_5}}{\mathop{C(OH)C_6H_5}} $
