The correct Answer is:
To identify the final product (Z) in the given sequence of reactions, we will analyze each step systematically. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Starting Material**: The reaction begins with benzoic acid, which has the formula \( C_6H_5COOH \). 2. **First Reaction with LiAlH4**: - Benzoic acid reacts with lithium aluminium hydride (\( LiAlH_4 \)), a strong reducing agent. - This reaction reduces the carboxylic acid group (\(-COOH\)) to a primary alcohol group (\(-CH_2OH\)). - **Product X**: The product formed is benzyl alcohol, \( C_6H_5CH_2OH \). 3. **Second Reaction with PBr3**: - Benzyl alcohol (\( C_6H_5CH_2OH \)) then reacts with phosphorus tribromide (\( PBr_3 \)). - This reaction replaces the hydroxyl group (\(-OH\)) of the alcohol with a bromine atom (\(-Br\)). - **Product Y**: The product formed is benzyl bromide, \( C_6H_5CH_2Br \). 4. **Third Reaction with KCN**: - Benzyl bromide (\( C_6H_5CH_2Br \)) reacts with potassium cyanide (\( KCN \)). - In this nucleophilic substitution reaction, the bromine atom is replaced by a cyanide group (\(-CN\)). - **Product Z**: The product formed is benzyl cyanide, \( C_6H_5CH_2CN \). 5. **Final Reaction with LiAlH4**: - Benzyl cyanide (\( C_6H_5CH_2CN \)) undergoes reduction with \( LiAlH_4 \). - The nitrile group (\(-CN\)) is reduced to a primary amine (\(-CH_2NH_2\)). - **Final Product Z**: The final product is benzylamine, \( C_6H_5CH_2CH_2NH_2 \). ### Conclusion: The final product (Z) after the sequence of reactions is \( C_6H_5CH_2CH_2NH_2 \), which corresponds to option B.
