Correct answer
A. S on warming with ammoniacal AgNO ₃ results in the formation of silver mirror.
Step-by-step solution
Kolbe's electrolysis of sodium butyrate ( CH ₃ CH ₂ CH ₂ COONa ) yields n-hexane. Aromatization of n-hexane using V ₂ O ₅ at 500^ C produces benzene ( Q ). Benzene ( Q ) reacts with phthalic anhydride in the presence of anhydrous AlCl ₃ to form o-benzoylbenzoic acid ( R ). Treatment of R with PCl ₅ gives o-benzoylbenzoyl chloride, which upon Rosenmund reduction ( H ₂- Pd/BaSO ₄ ) yields o-benzoylbenzaldehyde ( S ). Condensation of S with hydrazine ( NH ₂ NH ₂ ) forms 1-phenylphthalazine ( T ). Evaluating the option
