Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Styrene
Decarboxylation reaction is defined as a chemical reaction that eliminates a carboxyl group and liberates carbon dioxide (CO2). Decarboxylation mostly refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids erasing a carbon atom from a chain of carbons. The reagents used in the reaction are NaOH and CaO in 3:1 ratio in presence of heat.
The reaction is as follows:
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
