How many different carboxylic acids are ...

How many different carboxylic acids are obtained when all the isomeric arenes having the molecular formula `C_(8)H_(10)` are oxidised with alk. `KMnO_(4)` followed by acidification ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4
Four isomeric carboxylic acids are formed from four different arenes: ethylbenzene `to` benzoic acid, o-xylene `to` phthalic acid, m-xylene`to`isophthalic acid and p-xylene`to`terephthalic acid.
