Question

Select the correct statements:

• A. Product E can undergo HVZ reaction
• B. B to C conversion is a nucleophilic substitution
• C. $\left(A\right)\underset{DMSO}{\overset{KCN}{\to }}\left(C\right)$
• D. The decarboxylated product of E has a benzylic hydrogen

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B B to C conversion is a nucleophilic substitution
C $\left(A\right)\underset{DMSO}{\overset{KCN}{\to }}\left(C\right)$
D The decarboxylated product of E has a benzylic hydrogen


E will not give HVZ reaction due to absence of $\alpha -$hydrogen to $COOH$group.
