Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Identify the reaction mechanism
The reaction involves bromination under UV light, leading to the formation of benzyl bromide.
In the second step, hydroxylation with OH⁻ converts benzyl bromide into benzyl alcohol.
The correct intermediate (X) is benzyl bromide, and the final product (Y) is benzyl alcohol.
