Question

In a set of the given reactions, acetic acid yielded a product $C$ .
$\mathrm{CH}{}_3\mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{PCl}{}_5\to \mathrm{A}$
$\mathrm{A}\underset{\text{anh}\cdot \mathrm{AlCl}{}_3}{\overset{\mathrm{C}{}_6\mathrm{H}{}_6}{\to }}\mathrm{B}\underset{\text{ether}}{\overset{\mathrm{C}{}_2\mathrm{H}{}_5\mathrm{MgBr}}{\to }}\mathrm{C}$
Product $C$ would be

• A. $C{H}_{3}CH(OH)C_6{H}_5$
• B.
• C. $C{H}_{3}CH(OH)C_2{H}_5$
• D. $C{H}_{3}CO{C}_6{H}_5$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\mathrm{CH}{}_3\mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{PCl}{}_5\to$ $\underset{\text{(A)}}{\mathrm{CH}{}_3\mathrm{COCl}}$
