Question

End product of the following reaction is

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

The reaction of a benzene derivative with a halogen in the presence of an electrophilic catalyst often leads to substitution reactions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyzing the reaction.
The reaction of the given compound with the reactants forms benzoic acid and HBr as products.

Step 2: Conclusion.
The end product is \( \text{C}_6 \text{H}_5 \text{COOH} + \text{HBr} \), corresponding to option (1).
