If formic acid, acetic acid, propanoic acid and benzoic acid is mixed with phosphorus and bromine then how many product are formed

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Formic acid and benzoic acid do not contain `alpha-H` atoms so they cannot give HVZ reaction `CH_(3)- COOH overset(P+Br_(2))to underset(Br)underset(|)(C)H_(2)-COOH`
`CH_(3)-CH_(2)-COOH overset(P+Br_(2))to underset((d+l))(CH_(3)-underset(Br)underset(|)overset(**)(C)H-COOH`.
