Identify A and B in the following sequence of reaction.
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In the reaction, toluene undergoes chlorination in the presence of light to form benzyl chloride (A). On further oxidation with water, it forms benzaldehyde (B).
Thus the correct answer is Option B.
