When acetylene is passed through red hot iron tube, compound X is formed. Which one of the following reactions will yield X as the major product?

Options

A. `C_(6)H_(5)OH + Znoverset(Distillation)to`
B. ` C_(6)H_(5)SO_(3)H + NaHCO_(3) to`
C. `C_(6)H_(12)+3H_(2)overset(Ni)to`
D. `C_(6)H_(5)Cl+H_(2)Ooverset(Delta)to`

Answer

A

Explanation

Accetylene passed through red hot iron tube results in the formation of benzene.
`3C_(2)H_(2)overset(Red bot tube)to C_(6)H_(6)`
Reaction (a) also yield benzene as the major product
`C_(6)H_(5)OH+Znoverset(Distillation)to C_(6)H_(6)+ZnO`
