Q26 / 180 · KCET 2014 · Chemistry

Acetophenone cannot be prepared easily starting from

Correct answer
A
\( \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \)
B
\( \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{6} \)
C
\( \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{OH}) \mathrm{CH}_{3} \)
D
\( C_{6} H_{5} C \equiv C H \)

Solution

Acetophenone cannot be prepared easily starting from \( \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \), because, in toluene the substitution will takes place
at different positions which will not form acetophenone.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
