Compound (A), `C_(8)H_(9)Br`, gives a white precipitate when warmed with alcoholic `AgNO_(3)`. Oxidation of (A) gives an acid (B), `C_(8)H_(6)O_(4)` .(B) easily forms anhydride on heating Identify the compound (A).

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Since (B) gives anhydride on heating so , it is 1,2- dicarboxylic acid . It contains two benzylic carbon at 1 and 2- positions and therefore , on oxidation it gives 1,2- dicarboxylic acid.
