In a set of reactions, acetic acid yielded a product D. \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\xrightarrow{SOC{{l}_{2}}}\left( A \right)\xrightarrow[AlC{{l}_{3}}]{Benzene}\left( B \right)\] \[\xrightarrow{HCN}(C)\xrightarrow{HOH}(D)\] The structure of [D] would be -

A)         

B)

C)           

D)

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

[d]\[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\xrightarrow{SOC{{l}_{2}}}C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{A}{\mathop{\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,}}\,-Cl\xrightarrow[AlC{{l}_{3}}]{Benzene}\]
