Question

In a set of reactions acetic acid yielded a product S
`CH_(3)COOH overset(SOCl_(2))rarrP underset("Anhy." AlCl_(3))overset("Benzene")rarr Q`
`overset(HCN)rarrR overset(H_(2)O //H^(+))rarrS`
The structure of S would be :
A.
B.
C.
D.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A
`{:(" "CN" "COOH),(" |" " |"),(CH_(3)COOH rarr CH_(3)COCl (P) overset(C_(6)H_(6). AlCl_(3))rarr C_(6)H_(5)COCH_(3) (Q) overset(HCN)rarr CH_(3) - C - CH_(3) (R) overset(H_(2)O // H^(+))rarr CH_(3) - C - CH_(3) (S)),(" |"" |"),(" "OH" "OH):}`
