Acetic acid reacts with PCl5to give:
Show Hint
Cl – CH2 – COCl
Cl – CH2 – COOH
CH3 – COCl
CCl3 – COOH
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
When acetic acid reacts with PCl5, it forms acyl chloride (CH3COCl) by replacing the –OH group with a chlorine atom. This reaction is a typical example of chlorination of carboxylic acids.
