Question

Which of the following side chain reaction/s can be used to reduce the activity groups such as $\left(OH\right)$ or $(-{NH}_2)$?

• A. Benzoylation
• B. Acetylation
• C. Tosylation
• D. Sulphonation

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A Benzoylation
B Acetylation
C Tosylation

Benzoylation (introducing benzoyl group $PhCO-$), acetylation (introducing acetyl group $C{H}_{3}CO-$) and tosylation (introducing tosyl group $p-C{H}_3{C}_6{H}_{4}S{O}_2-$) can be used to reduce the activity groups such as ($OH$) or ($-N{H}_2$).
