Propionic acid with `Br_(2)//P` yields a dibromoproduct. Its structure would be:

Options

A. `H- underset(Br) underset(|) overset(Br)overset(|) overset(|)C -CH_2 COOH `
B. `CH_2 Br -CH_2 COBr`
C. `CH_3- underset(Br)underset(|) overset(Br)overset(|)C -COOH`
D. `CH_3(Br) -CH (Br) -COOH`

Answer

C

Explanation

`CH_3 CH_2 COOH overset(Br_2 //P) to CH_3 - underset( Br) underset(|) overset( Br) overset(|) C-COOH`
