Which combination of reactants will not give species `(I)` shown as a reactive intermediate ?

Options

A.
B.
C.
D.

Answer

`(a,b,c)`

Explanation

a. `SE` reactioln by `(overser(o+)(N)O_(2))` species `(I)` is not formed. So (a) is correct answer.
b. `SE` reaction by `Br^(o+)` will attack at `m-` postiton. Species (I) is not formed. So (b) is correct statemetns.
c. `SE` reaction by `Br^(o+), (-OH)` group is `o-` and `p-` directing (class `-OH` decides orientations), `p-` position is blocked. Species `(I)` is not formed. So (c) is a correct statements.
d. `ArSN` reaction (addition -eliminiatiobn) reaction by `overset(o-)(O)H` nucleophile. Species `(I)` is formed.
So (d) is an incorrect statemetns.
