End product of the following reaction is
`CH_(3)CH_(2)COOH overset(Cl_(2))underset(red P)to overset("alcoholic KOH")to`

Options

A. `CH_(3)underset(OH)underset(|)(CH)COOH`
B. `underset(CH)underset(|)(CH_(2))CH_(2)COOH`
C. `CH_(2)=CHCOOH`
D. `underset(Cl)underset(|)(CH_(2))underset(OH)underset(|)(C)HCOOH`

Answer

C

Explanation

`CH_(3)CH_(2)COOH underset(( "red pHVZ reaction"))overset(CI_(2)) to CH_(3)underset(CI)underset(|)(CHCOOH) underset(("elimination"))overset("Alcoholic KOH") to CH_(2)=underset("acrylic acid")(CHCOOH)`
