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

A

`H - underset(Br)underset(|)overset(Br)overset(|)(C) - CH_(2)COOH`

B

`CH_(2)(Br)-CH_(2)-COBr`

C

`CH_(2)-underset(Br)underset(|)overset(Br)overset(|)(C) - COOH`

D

`CH_(2)(Br) - CH(Br) - COOH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
This is Hell - Volhard zelinsky reaction.
`therefore CH_(3) CH_(2) COOH overset(Br_(2)//P)(rarr)CH_(3) - underset(Br)underset(|)overset(Br)overset(|)(C) - COOH`
