- B(A) p,q,s, (B) p,q,t, (C) r, (D) q,s
- C(A) p,s, (B) q,s, (C) r,t, (D) q,t
- D(A) p,q,s, (B) p,q,t, (C) r, (D) q,t
Correct answer
C. (A) p,s, (B) q,s, (C) r,t, (D) q,t
Step-by-step solution
- A. 2-bromobenzofuran: This compound has an alkyl bromide group at a benzylic position. This functional group can undergo p. Nucleophilic substitution to replace the bromine and q. Elimination to form a double bond. - B. Phenylethanol: This is an alcohol. Alcohols can react with acid anhydrides to form esters, which is an ( s ). Esterification reaction. They can also be oxidized to aldehydes or ketones, a process that is also called t. Dehydrogenation. - C. Salicylaldehyde: This compound has two functional groups:
