Consider the reaction given below:

The final major product of the reaction is:

Options

A.
B.
C.
D.

Answer

A

Explanation

The reactant involved in the reaction contains highly deactivating nitro groups, so eledrophilic substitution is not possible at benzene ring in this case. Since it contains a good leavinggroup `(CI^(-))` nucleophilic .substitution reaction will take place.
The nucleophile in this reaction is hydroxide ion, so OH" will substitute the chlorine atom fronvthe benzene ring..
