Excess of `CH_(3)COOH` is reacted with `CH-=CH` in presence of `Hg^(2+)`, the product is -

Options

A. `underset(CH_(2)OOCH_(3))underset(|)(C)H_(3)(OOC CH_(3)`
B. `underset(CH_(2)-OOC-CH_(3))underset(|)(CH_(3))`
C. `underset(CH(OOC-CH_(3))_(2))underset(|)(C)H_(3)`
D. None of these

Answer

C

Explanation

`CH-=CH+CH_(3)COOH overset([Hg^(2+)])to H_(2)C= CH-OCOCH_(3) overset(CH_(3)COOH)to CH_(3)-underset("Ethylidene acetate")(CH(O-COCH_(3))_(2))`
This reaction is an example of addition reaction.
