Question

Compound $A\left(C_{10}{H}_6\right)$ liberates 2 mole of $C{H}_4$ when treated with MeMgBr. On heating with $KMn{O}_4$ solution, “A” produces benzene dicarboxylic acid which on mononitration produces only one product and no other isomers. The compound “A” can be:

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

"A” Contains two acidic hydrogen which upon reacting with KMnO4 gives terephthalic acid which on mononitration gives only one product which is given below.
