the compound x is 994003449

The compound $$(X)$$ is

A. $$C{H_3}COOH$$

B. $$BrC{H_2} - COOH$$

C. $${\left( {C{H_3}CO} \right)_2}O$$

D. $$CHO - COOH$$

Answer : $${\left( {C{H_3}CO} \right)_2}O$$

Solution :
This reaction is an example of “Perkin reaction”. The compound X should be $${\left( {C{H_3}CO} \right)_2}O.$$
In this step the carbanion is obtained by removal of an $$\alpha - H$$ atom from a molecule of an acid anhydride, the anion of the corresponding acid acting as a necessary base.
