Chlorination of toluene in the presence ...

Chlorination of toluene in the presence of light and heat followed by treatment with aqueous NaOH gives

A

o-cresol

B

m-cresol

C

2, 4-dihydroxytoluene

D

benzyl alcohol

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Monochlorination of toluene in sunlight gives benzyl chloride. On hydrolysis with aq. NaOH, benzyl chloride shows nucleophilic substitution reaction to give benzyl alcohol.

So, the correct option is (d).
