`CH_(3)COOH+PCl_(5) to A overset(C_(6)H_(6))underset(Anh. AlCl_(3))toB overset(C_(2)H_(5)MgBr)underset("ether")toC`
Product C would be
A. `CH_(3)CH(OH)C_(2)H_(5)`
B. `CH_(3)COC_(6)H_(5)`
C. `CH_(3)CH(OH)C_(6)H_(5)`
D. `CH_(3)-overset(" C"_(2)H_(5))overset(|)C(OH)C_(6)H_(5)`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - D
`CH_(3)COOH+PCl_(5) to underset((A))(CH_(3)COCl) overset(C_(6)H_(6))underset("anhy. "AlCl_(3)) to underset((B))(C_(6)H_(5)COCH_(3))overset(C_(2)H_(5)MgBr)underset("ether")to underset((C )) (C_(6)H_(5)overset(" "C_(2)H_(5))overset(|)underset(OH)underset(|)C-CH_(3))`
