Solution
The correct option is C(A)−CH3Cl,(B)−C6H5COOH,(C)−C6H5COONa,(D)−NaOH+CaO The first reaction is Friedel-crafts reaction and the product is toluene, therefore A is CH3Cl.
C6H6CH3Cl−−−−→AlCl3C6H5−CH3
Toluene, on oxidation forms benzoic acid (B).
C6H5−CH3oxidation−−−−−→C6H5−COOH
Benzoic acid, on further reaction with NaOH forms sodium benzoate (C).
C6H5−COOHNaOH−−−−→C6H5−COONaSodium benzoate
To convert sodium benzoate in benzene, soda lime (D) can be used as reagent.
