In the reaction, if X is the reagent and Y is the product, which of the following is not feasible? In the reaction, if X is the reagent and Y is the product, which of the following is not feasible?
Options
- AX = Conc. HNO ₃+ Con. H ₂ SO ₄ ; Y =3- Nitrobenzoic acid
- BX = Br ₂ / Fe Y =3- Bromobenzoic acid
- CX = NaOH , CaO Y = Benzene
- DX = CH ₃ Cl / AlCl ₃ Y =3- Methylebenzoic acid
Correct answer
D. X = CH ₃ Cl / AlCl ₃ Y =3- Methylebenzoic acid
Step-by-step solution
This reaction is not feasible because the - COOH group interacts with the lewis acid AlCl ₃ and forms acylium ion instead of the usual electrophilic substitution at the ring.
