Please explain in detail. Answers-a,b, & c
Dear Student,
The answer is Option (C) NaOH as replacement of halogen molecule (side attachment) is possible only with hydroxy (-OH) group as among the given options only NaOH and methanol had hydroxy groups while comparing both Na has more affinity to Br in forming NaBr thwn methyl group hence the appropriate reagent is NaOH, the reaction scheme is expressed below,
Regards.
