Question

The final product A formed in the following multistep reaction sequence is

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The reaction sequence involves the following steps:

1. The initial compound undergoes hydration with H₂O, H⁺, forming a primary alcohol.
2. Oxidation with CrO₃ converts the alcohol to a ketone.
3. Finally, treatment with NH₂NH₂, KOH and heating (Wolff-Kishner reduction) reduces the ketone to an alkane.

Thus, the final product A is a simple alkyl chain attached to the benzene ring: Answer: (1).
So, the correct answer is : Option (1).
