Question
Monochlorination of toluene in sunlight followed by hydrolysis by aq. \[\ce{NaOH}\] yields.
Options
o-Cresol
m-Cresol
2, 4-Dihydroxytoluene
Benzyl alcohol

Solution
Benzyl alcohol
Explanation:
Monochlorination of toluene in sunlight gives benzyl chloride. On hydrolysis with aq. \[\ce{NaOH}\], benzyl chloride shows nucleophilic substitution reaction to give benzyl alcohol.
