In a set of reactions, ethyl benzene yielded a product $$D.$$ \[\xrightarrow[KOH]{KMn{{O}_{4}}}B\xrightarrow[FeC{{l}_{3}}]{B{{r}_{2}}}\] \[C\xrightarrow[{{H}^{+}}]{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH}D\]
$$D$$ would be
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer :
Solution :
Alkaline $$KMn{O_4}$$ converts complete carbon chain ( that is directly attached to benzene nucleus ) to $$-COOH$$ group. $$B{r_2}$$ in the presence of halogen carrier causes bromination by electrophilic substitution reaction and ethyl alcohol in acidic medium results in esterification.
