Question

In a set of reactions, ethyl benzene yielded a product D.

D would be
A.
B.
C.
D.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - D
Alkaline `KMnO_4` converts complete carbon chain (that is directly attached to benzene nucleus ) to -COOH group. `Br_2` in the presence of halogen carrier causes bromination by electrophilic substitution reaction and ethyl alcohol in acidic medium results in esterification.
