Solution
The correct option is CCH3−C2H5|C−(OH)C6H5
When carboxylic acid reacts with PCl5, acid chloride formed and acid chloride on reaction with benzene (or its derivatives) forms ketones and this process is known as Freidal Craft acylation carried out in presence of anhydrous AlCl3. Ketones on reaction with Grignard reagent form tertiary alcohols.
