Solution
The correct option is DCH3−C2H5∣C(OH)C6H5 In the following set of reactions, acetic acid yielded product C which is CH3−C2H5∣C(OH)C6H5.
Acetic acid reacts with phosphorus pentachloride to form acetyl chloride (compound A). Friedel craft's acylation of benzene in presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride gives acetophenone.
Acetophenone reacts with grignards reagent to form tertiary alcohol (compound C).
