Question

What are Y and Z respectively in the given reaction sequence? 

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Hint:

In the given sequence, oxidation and reduction are employed to modify the functional groups of aromatic compounds.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The sequence involves an oxidation reaction followed by a reduction, which converts Y into a hydroxyl group (OH) and Z into another hydroxyl group (OH) at different positions. The reaction steps include a strong oxidizer and a subsequent reductive process. \vspace{0.5cm}
