Question

Observe the following reactions: 

The correct answer is:

• A. I, II both are feasible
• B. I, II both are not feasible
• C. I is feasible but not II
• D. I is not feasible but II is feasible

Hint:

When analyzing organic reactions, check the reactivity of the reactants and the feasibility of the reagents used. Reactions involving nucleophilic substitution with iodide are generally feasible.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Analyzing the reactions: Reaction I involves the reaction of a phenol with phosphorus and iodine. This reaction is not feasible under normal conditions.
Reaction II involves the reaction of a phenol with potassium iodide (KI), which is feasible as it involves a typical nucleophilic substitution.
Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
