Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The `-OH` group of an alcohol or of the `-COOH` group of a carboxylic acid can be replaced by using `PCl_(5), PCl_(3)` or `SOCl_(2)`
`R -OH + PCL_(5) rarr R-Cl+POCl_(3)+HCl`
`R-underset(O)underset(||)(C)-OH+PCl_(5)-R-overset(O)overset(||)(C)+POCL_(3)+HCl`
