Question

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{}\ce{\underset{}{CH3CH2COOH} ->[Cl2][ Red P] \underset{}{A}->[Alc KOH] \underset{}{B}}\\
\end{array}\]

What is (B):

Options

• CH₃CH₂COCl

• CH₃CH₂CHO

• CH₂ = CHCOOH

• ClCHCH₂COOH

Answer 1

CH₂ = CHCOOH

Explanation:

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{}\ce{\underset{}{CH3CH2COOH} ->[Cl2][ Red P] \underset{}{CH3CHClCOOH}->[Alc KOH][-HCl] \underset{}{CH2 = CHCOOH}}\\
\end{array}\]
